lying to Dr. Lesse and the police: he was embarrassed, ashamed, frightened didn't want his father to know, didn't want her mother to know--etc. But this motive would kick in only after Tommy knew Martha had been murdered. Only after finding out that something profoundly unsavory had befallen her directly after their sexual encounter would Tommy be able to feel a reactionary, irrational associate guilt and actively want to conceal their mutual masturbation incident out of innocent fear.
If Tommy knew nothing about Martha's murder why, when Julie came into his room at 1:30 am, would he lie to her about hanging out with Martha? Was it really that big a deal? Why did he begin his pattern of deception at that point? This is assuming that when Tommy told Julie "the back door" he meant the side of the house at 9:30--which is what we would soon tell the investigators. However, there is a chance Tommy meant "the back door" as literally in the back of the house. If he didn't mention a time to Julie, than [WW] he wasn't exactly lying, only neglecting to be entirely honest. Which, perhaps, is understandable. There are serious reasons Tommy wouldn't necessarily want to announce to his big sister he had been rolling around with fifteen year-old Martha Moxley. Yes, but why did he mention the test to her? The test is nothing but a complete and calculated fiction. If we can't be certain that Tommy is lying about where he last saw Martha, we at least definitely know he is lying to Julie about why.
Gaspar: What is Mrs. Moxley's first name?
Julie: I don't know. She was asking where Martha is, please go ask Tommy if he knows where she is. So, I went up to the third floor, woke Tommy up and he said the last time I saw her was at the back door when they said goodnight--which is a whole scenario I left out actually.
Gaspar: Well, you told me a bunch of people were by the side of the door.
Julie: But this was after dinner while I was sitting in the car waiting for Andrea to go back up to the house to get the keys. I could hear Tommy and Martha at the back door, saying good-night and Tommy saying, "I've got to go."
Gaspar: And where did Tommy go?
Julie: Yeah. By the time Andrea got to the front door, which was locked, or she couldn't get it open, Tommy met Andrea at the front door and got the keys, they chit-chatted, I'm, guessing maybe a minute.

You speak of a seed and pesticide treadmill that farmers are on. Why is it worrying?
It is right at the heart of the problem that farmers are facing. The problem became serious as hybrid cotton seeds spread. The seeds were pest-prone and they spread along with increased insecticide use. Both technologies have some inherent unreliability and both change quickly in India, and the problems in each technology exacerbate the problems in the other. It is important to note that while Bt technology did not originally cause the treadmill problem, it definitely has exacerbated it.
You also say Bt cotton is a craze with localised fads. What do you mean by this?
Data show the 2005 Bt cotton craze fits into a strange and disquieting pattern of localised cotton fads. Farmer experimentation and evaluation play a much smaller role in seed choices than innovation-diffusion theorists and seed companies claim. Instead, seed fads result from agricultural deskilling, in which farmers fail to experiment and evaluate the seeds because of the unpredictability of key variables in cotton cultivation. At present, Warangal farmers have more to teach us about the social nature of decision-making in unpredictable and unstable environments than about the benefits of GM crops.
Cotton scientists say that one of the problems is the indiscriminate release of seeds across the country, ignoring the need for specific hybrids for each agro-climatic zone. Seed companies and their scientists trash this idea, saying farmers are wise enough to know what is good for them. What has been your experience in Warangal?
The seed company employee is in the business of selling seeds, and the companies have a long history of treating farmers like backward, tradition-bound idiots who need to be told how to farm, until the farmers buy their product. At this point they gush about the wisdom of the farmer. Let's not forget that the whole reason there is a market for Bt seeds is the agro-ecological debacle that resulted from farmers adopting another technology: insecticides. What I call the ‘skilling process’ breaks down when technology changes too fast and is too hard to assess.
But technology has its own dynamic and is a continuous process, right?
No one is against development of improved technologies in general. The seed-pesticide technology is a problem because it is deceptively labelled, rapidly changing and ecologically unstable. On the other hand, the Agriculture Research Station in Warangal does an expert job of developing new rice seeds. They release one every few years and make sure farmers know how it works. Thus, farmers are able to make informed decisions.
What do you mean when you say ideas of indigenous knowledge of farming practices are being relentlessly manipulated?
People and firms with a financial interest in agricultural technologies have a distinguished history of depicting farmer skill in ways that suit their interest. The general pattern is to depict farmers as hapless, tradition-bound dunces when they do not adopt the technologies the people and firms are making, and to depict them as wise when they do. Monsanto, having recently emerged as a major seed vendor, specifically equated lack of purchased seeds with general indigenous haplessness. It is interesting that when GM seeds were first being promoted for farmers in the global South, those with interests were sticking with this condescending view, implying an indigenous inability to learn to cultivate new kinds of seeds. The claim was made most prominently by the industry-supported African biotechnologist Florence Wambugu: The great potential of biotechnology to increase agriculture in Africa lies in its “packaged technology in the seed” which ensures technology benefits without changing local cultural practices (Nature 1999).
It was then expanded and repeated widely. Biotechnologist Martina McGloughlin elaborated: For years people have tried to change cultural practices of these farmers, and it just has not worked. It has been a complete failure, because you have to modify infrastructure, you have to re-educate them as to how to modify their farming practices themselves. But with biotech, the technology is in a seed. All you have to do is give them the seed (Nova 2001). This was soon picked up by a range of allies, including industry scientists.
This narrative reached something of an apogee with academic biotechnologist Bruce Chassey: Genetic farming is the easiest way to cultivate crops. All that farmers have to do is to plant the seeds and water them regularly. The GM seeds are insect resistant, so there is no need to use huge amounts of pesticides (Thaindian News 2008). This statement, arguably the most idiotic thing written yet on biotechnology, was reprinted by industry-supported biotechnologist C S Prakash on the biotechnology propaganda website AgBioWorld in 2008.
So when did this portrayal of the clueless farmer change?
When Indian farmers adopted Bt cotton seeds, Monsanto replaced their image of the bumpkin farmer with a farmer who was a more astute observer of seed performance. The ever increasing Bollgard plantings demonstrate that the Indian farmer is willing to adopt a technology that delivers consistent benefits in terms of reduced pesticide use and increased income. Farmers recognise the value of Bollgard, which continues to gain acceptance (Monsanto spokesperson, 2005).
This industry talking point is now being repeated widely by people with vested interests in GM seeds. It is a self-serving claim that is based on no research whatsoever. My long-term multi-village research in Andhra shows most Bt cotton plantings to be seeds the farmer is trying for the first time, and it shows a strong pattern of village-specific seed fad that reflects an extraordinarily high degree of emulation. How could farmers be making wise choices when the seeds, pesticides, and insect populations change so rapidly?
Have you looked at the situation of farmers elsewhere to put your Warangal findings on cotton farmers in some context?
A lot of work pertains to US farmers. But the deskilling is not as severe as with the Indian cotton farmers. I have also redefined what deskilling really means for a farmer. It is different from that of industrial deskilling in which skilled jobs disappear and you end up with less skilled, lower-paid workers who can't really use the skill and knowledge of their predecessors. The farmer still needs to be skilled on technologies—to figure out how they work and how to integrate them in the farm operation—but is unable to. The main cause of this is the overly rapid rate of technological change and a related problem of unrecognisable technologies. There is a fair amount of scientific research on this. Farmers are not omniscient; there are some things they can figure out better than other things.
Are farmers on a faster technology-pesticides treadmill on account of GM technology?
Of course. Farmers didn't really start adopting Bt cotton until around 2005, and within five years we have gone from one genetic construct to four. We have gone from terrible problems with American bollworm to greatly reduced problems with that pest but huge problems with aphids. Meanwhile, there are now hundreds of Bt hybrids available, and there is still a need for new pesticides.

A Delhi court on Tuesday fixed 19 July for hearing a plea seeking the lodging of an FIR in the Ramjas College incident in which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised in February this year.
After the court was informed that a transfer application filed by the Delhi Police Crime Branch was pending before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM), the matter has been listed for further hearing on the next date by Metropolitan Magistrate Abhilash Malhotra.
CMM Satish Kumar Arora had marked it to the court of magistrate Malhotra after the filing of the complaint by advocate Vivek Garg.
The police plea was opposed by complainant Garg, arguing that it had been delaying the matter and hesitating to file a proper action taken report. It was also alleged that the police was not willing to enquire into the incidents.
According to the police status report, the Commissioner of Delhi Police has set up a probe panel which has been going into complaints relating to the incidents that occurred on February 21-22 this year.
As many as 62 witnesses have examined so far, including students and police officials.
The complaint being heard by the court related to the lodging of an FIR with regard to the February incidents when anti-national slogans were allegedly raised at Ramjas College by AISA and SFI members.
The plea had said a similar incident occurred in JNU last year. It alleged that “massive anti-national slogans/ activities were being carried out by leaders/students of AISA/SFI in Ramjas College, shamelessly and openly which supported India's enemy i.e. Pakistan.
The criminal acts of accused were also boosting morale of terrorists against our country.

PREMIER ROUGE Encourages development of varietal fruit flavors, balanced by complex aromas when using grapes from the Cabernet family. Also good for use with grapes picked early. Packet sufficient for 1-6 gallons.Red Star Premier Rouge, a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been derived from the collection of the Institute Pasteur in Paris. It is a strong, even fermenter that produces full bodied reds. This yeast encourages the development of varietal fruit flavors, balanced by complex aromas, especially when using grapes of the Cabernet family. It may be necessary to cool the fermenting must to prevent unwanted temperature increase. This yeast is reported to give character to less robust red grapes, or those picked before optimum development.

In a few hours the Holiest Day of the year begins here in the US, in Israel it started a few hours ago. It is Yom Kippur.
I’ve written about Yom Kippur in my Esther’s Days of Purification as well as published a small teaching called Ketoret. Earlier this year I began to compile a number of other notes to make the Ketoret a complete teaching. Even with all the craziness of me preparing to depart to Israel for six weeks I felt this information was important. Ironically, I will be spending most of my time on the ancient incense trail while I am in Israel.
Ketoret has the unique property of protection as a fumigation as we look into the Hebrew word.
(Strong’s H7004 קטרת qeṭôreth ket-o’-reth From H6999; a fumigation: – (sweet) incense, perfume.
A primitive root (rather identical with H7000 through the idea of fumigation in a close place and perhaps thus driving out the occupants); to smoke, that is, turn into fragrance by fire (especially as an act of worship): – burn (incense, sacrifice) (upon), (altar for) incense, kindle, offer (incense, a sacrifice).
While today we normally wouldn’t be using an incense burner/censer with whole spices ground into an incense powder as a fumigation we do use essential oils with a diffuser.
Yalkut Meam Loez cites a story from Midrash Haneelam.
Rav Aha was exhausted and fell asleep. He dreamt that it was told to him, “Just as you eliminated the plague from the city, so must you bring them back in teshuva, for one cannot endure without the other, because it was on account of their sins that the plague was decreed”. He told this to the townspeople and they repented. They changed the name of the town to “Mahsiya,” which means “town of compassion”. They kept the town’s name in their minds at all times so as to ensure that they would not return to their sinful ways.
The following is excerpts from a rare book from David Israel Macht written 1928. I’m including this information because of the importance of the ingredients of the Holy Incense and how the pharmacological essence of the incense affects us.
The World War was instrumental, (Remember only one world war had happened at this time in history) in connection with the impetus given to the search for antiseptics and germicidal properties of various essential oils; as for instance so well described by Cavel. This antiseptic action of volatile oils was un-doubtly responsible for the remarkable medicinal virtues of various balsams used in ancient times, especially in the treatment and healing of wounds.
Oh my, as I read this I had to run to my library. I pulled Gattefosse’s Aromatherapy book off of my shelf and nearly fainted as I read. Now that I’ve picked myself up off the floor I have to tell you the importance of not only Gattefosse “coining” the word aromatherapy, (many believed he did so in 1928); the same year that Macht wrote the above. As I began to re-read Robert Tisserand’s Editor Introduction my eyes fell to these words.
Essential oils, such as Tea Tree Oil as we know today aren’t the infused oil that were used in Biblical times. There is much controversy about essential oil discovery but it is of our research that a Persian physician, Ib’n Sina, better known as Avicenna (980 A.D.-1037 A.D.) who was a celebrity throughout the Arab world is the one who greatly contributed to the process when he introduced the use of a refrigerated coil in the distillation process of plants. It is believed that distillation of aromatic flowers and essential oils methods were done in basic and mostly crude stills that were used before his discovery. Avicenna was highly advanced in many ‘modern’ methods of medicine many which are still used today. His published works included The Book of Healing and the Canon of Medicine. He is also accredited with writings on the use of over 800 medicinal plants.
The NAHA writes: Distillation appears to have been practiced throughout ancient times. Based upon the current interpretation Paolo Rovesti’s discovery of an earthenware distillation apparatus, the production or extraction of aromatic oils by means of steam distillation, has been known for 5000 years. During the fifth century AD, the famed writer, Zosimus of Panopolis, refers to the distilling of a divine water and panacea. Throughout the early Middle Ages and beyond, a crude form of distillation was known and was used primarily to prepare floral waters or distilled aromatic waters. These appear to have been used in perfumery, as digestive tonics, in cooking, and for trading.
Although an extensive trade of odoriferous material has been shown to have occurred in the ancient Orient and ancient Greece and Rome, the oils used were not essential oils per se, “rather they were obtained by placing flowers, roots, and other plant material into a fatty oil of best quality, submitting the glass bottles containing these mixtures to the warming influence of the sun and finally separating odoriferous oil from the solid constituents”. www.naha.org/explore-aromatherapy/about-aromatherapy/how-are-essential-oils-extracted.
Oh, remember how the year 1928 stuck out to me as when the term “aromatherapy” is thought to be coined and David Macht wrote his book on the Holy Incense the same year? Well, my friend, another “factoid” I found on 1928 is when I was researching penicillin and how it was discovered on Sept 15, 1928.
Penicillin is one of the earliest discovered and widely used antibiotic agents, derived from the Penicillium mold. Antibiotics are natural substances that are released by bacteria and fungi into their environment, as a means of inhibiting other organisms – it is chemical warfare on a microscopic scale.
In 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming observed that colonies of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus could be destroyed by the mold Penicillium notatum, proving that there was an antibacterial agent there in principle. This principle later lead to medicines that could kill certain types of disease-causing bacteria inside the body.
Have you read Steven Harrold Buhner’s books, Herbal Antibiotic’s and Herbal Antiviral’s? Buhner gives insight the why and how’s of getting back to plant-based medicine as he gently warns us of the soon-coming lack of antibiotics’. Perhaps, as the pharmaceutical antibiotics diminish, and are no longer being researched against the superbugs, it is a reason for us to know the power of God’s plant kingdom and learn more about herbal and natural remedies including, but not limited to, essential oils? Perhaps that is why there is such a “buzz” about the essential oils?
He who has “ears” listen to what the spirit is saying.
You can order the Ketoret booklet with the additional notes included from my web site. http://www.shop.thefragrantbride.com/. With the Ketoret teaching you will also receive a small vial of Ketoret.
This offer will end 4 Oct 2014 @10 am and be mailed out on Monday, 6 Oct 2014.

FIAR, a non-profit organization, sponsors and stimulates interest in clinical trials of herbal and nutritional treatments for people with HIV, AIDS and/or chronic viral hepatitis. The goal is to provide evidence as to whether or not these treatments can lessen symptoms, delay the progression of HIV disease or reduce side effects. FIAR has worked in developing nations where indigenous treatments are used and antiretroviral drugs (ARV) are still largely unavailable. FIAR also seeks to bring ARV, self-empowering information and prevention strategies to such under-served areas.
FIAR studies dietary supplements and other biologic agents. Dietary supplements are defined by the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA) and include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, thousands of different botanicals ("herbs"), protein powders, hormones, etc. Other modalities, such as massage, Reiki, spiritual practices may be addressed in the future as FIAR grows and develops.
People need better information to help guide treatment choices! Many studies show that a high percentage of people living with HIV/AIDS already use many of these interventions. How do they work? Can they help to manage side effects of drug therapy? Can they slow the rate of progression? FIAR, working with the HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis communities, clinics, hospitals, practitioners and organizations around the world to design and implement clinical studies to answer some of these questions and thus help people to make better-informed treatment decisions. Negative results mean people will save money and time. Positive results may encourage coverage under insurance (like ADAP) for greater access and reduced burden of cost on our healthcare systems.
If you would like to make a direct donation to FIAR, you can do so via PayPal directly. If your donation is for a specific project, please indicate which project. You may also send a check or money order directly to FIAR (please click on the Contact button). Thank you for your consideration!
An enormous amount of material dating from 1989 has been donated to NYU's Fales Library. Please CLICK HERE for a full list of the donated material.
Our meta-analysis, or review of multiple studies, showed that a simple multi-vitamin can slow HIV disease progression among adults NOT yet on ARV by nearly 50%! This is dramatic. Of course, getting people on ARV is vital, but this simple intervention may save lives. And there is preliminary evidence that a multi can help people who are on ARV (of any age, though care must be taken with infants).Micronturients in HIV: A Bayesian Meta-Analysis in PLoS One, April 2015. Please note an important CORRECTION to this paper.
And our findings from our meta-analysis on the use of smoked cannabis in managing peripheral neuropathy: Inhaled cannabis for chronic neuropathic pain: an individual patient data meta-analysis.
We also have a meta-analysis and systematic review on the use of probiotics in HIV disease.
To avoid conflicts of interest, FIAR does not solicit funds from pharmaceutical or nutriceutical companies.

I recently got an iPad, primarily to better understand the multichannel TV and over-the-top video apps that have generated so much discussion in the video business.
One of the biggest public disputes has been over the iPad app from Time Warner Cable, artlessly called TWCable TV. Discovery, Fox and Viacom sued over the inclusion of their channels in the app. While Discovery and Fox appear to have settled their issues with TWC, the Viacom services are still missing from the app. The app works only in your home and only if you subscribe to both cable TV and broadband service from TWC.
The app is simple, good-looking and intuitive. It is a fine start.
Sign up is via the TWC username and email that you need for programming your DVR from their website (which, by the way, doesn't work that well) and other account management functions. Blessedly, this only needs to be done once.
The app only works in landscape orientation. The guide is a translucent list of channels that appears on the left side and starts when you launch the app. If you tap on on the screen on the right side, it goes away and the channel you are watching expands to fill the iPad's width (preserving the aspect ratio).
The guide fits eight channels at a time and displays the channel logo (small, not always that clear), the title of current show, one line of description about the episode and the start time and title of the next show. When the guide comes up, a a translucent bar at the top also comes up that provides 2 buttons. On the right is "Channel History" which which shows and provides one-click-access to the last four channels that you have viewed. This is an interesting interface choice that adds some functionality to the ubiquitous "last channel" buttons on TV remotes. On the left is the "Log Out" button, although I can't understand why anyone would ever do so in normal use.
The guide and top bar will disappear on their own after a short while. To bring back the guide, tap on the screen. There is significant latency switching between channels. This is not a dream device for ADD channel surfers. The video generally worked well. I had some experiences of waiting for it to reload/buffer video when I was not switching channels.
There is no way to reorder the channel lineup or bookmark favorite channels.
The channels carried are a mix of services, with a decided preference for HD versions, which is a little odd given the iPad's 4:3 aspect ratio. The full list of the 73 channels carried is below; by my count 16 are SD channels. The app originally launched with 32 channels. It is unclear to me if the app's channel lineup can be revised on the fly or if TWC has to issue an updated version of the app whenever it wants to make a change.
Given how sports-driven most subscription television marketing is and how crucial sports is seen for most early adopter video innovations, there is little sports programming in the app. Golf Channel is the only full-time sports service in the lineup. None of the New York regional sports networks are available. The ESPNs are not, except ESPNews; they are available on the WatchESPN app. Versus, MLB, NBA, NHL, Tennis, Big Ten, Gol, Speed, Fox Soccer...none of them are available. Nor are TNT and TBS which have significant slates of sports. In contrast, women-targeted services are very well represented: 3 Lifetime services, E!, HGTV, Food, Oxygen, WE, Style and Wedding Central.
My television subscription includes all of the 73 channels listed below. It is unclear to me if TWC blocks out the digital tier or HD channels for customers who do not subscribe to them. Conversely, I wonder if some of the foreign language services that I do not see on the app are available to other customers who do subscribe to them.
There is no access to the recorded content on your DVR. There is no closed captioning or SAP. There is no-access to any on demand content. The only "switch" in the settings panel is "Remember password". This is version 1.0.2008 of the software.
In short, if you have an iPad the app is well worth downloading and looks like it will add some value to a cable subscription. I'm not sure that I will end up using it that much given its limited functionality and the presence of more-fully-featured actual TVs in my household.
In terms of the business dispute, TWC is taking the position that because the app only works in the home, the iPad is essentially operating as another television and its rights to carry channels on it are covered by its rights in its regular affiliation agreements. There is certainly a lot of support for the programmer's side of the argument that this is not another television (for starters, no must-carry broadcast channels are carried) and that these rights have to be negotiated separately.
The list of channels carried. The name is how it appears in the top bar when selected (except for the comments in parentheses or after the dashes). The numbers do not appear on the guide, that's just a function of this list.
ESPNews HD (not ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU all of which are on the WatchESPN app, which does not have ESPNews HD).

Super Bowl Sunday fun is over for another year. Yesterday the Super Bowl was won for the first time by the Seattle Seahawks. And sadly for the Denver Broncos, Seattle squashed them 43-8. Sorry Payton! Each and every year Americans along with a heck of a lot of others get together to watch not only the game, but the commercials and entertainment as well. And don’t get me started on all the fun and delicious eating too. Unbelievably besides Thanksgiving Day Americans consume more food on Super Bowl Sunday than any other day of the year.
When it comes to the Super Bowl, the amount of dollars spent in the US by all of us; the fans, the companies, and of course the teams, specifically for game day definitely add up.
Everywhere you look it’s all about the game; football, consumption and numbers. Providing the perfect opportunity to have a look at this year’s numbers, starting with you guessed it, the game.
When it comes to the Super Bowl besides rooting for our favorite team to win, we also root for a darn good game. And we are not alone, the networks of course want to keep as many viewers until the last possible moment.
Super Bowl 2014 by the Numbers – The FOOD!
Super Bowl Sunday and food go together like chips and dip. And let’s face it for some the good eats are just as important as the game.
Realistically every year the Super Bowl can’t be an on the edge of your seat, nail biting, last minute final. Sometimes, just sometimes we experience an old fashioned blow-out. And yesterday it obviously didn’t make a bit difference to the Fox network as the ratings were only off by 1%. Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks!
Hey Buddy!, I found this information for you: "Super Bowl 2014 by the Numbers". Here is the website link: https://mastertheevent.com/super-bowl-2014-numbers/. Thank you.

Refugees, asylum seekers and internally displaced people are increasing vulnerable population of trafficking in persons.
People on the move are an opportunity! Talitha Kum invites everybody in contact with this population to intensify prevention, to promote formation to train key persons to recognize the victims of trafficking among this group and to address the needs of trafficked people and its families.
“Let us all, as one human family, strive to build bridges of solidarity rather than walls of division.” Talitha Kum signing this ecumenical statement reaffirm its commitment to be neighbours to those who suffer the serious consequences of trafficking in persons, women, children, men. Anyone who is injured in his/her own dignity and deprived of liberty, regardless of their lifestyle, race, religion, economic condition or sexual orientation.
The encounters in everyday life with people in situation of vulnerability and survivor s of trafficking are moments of shared hope and pain with systematically exploited people and deprived of their dignity. They are moment to contemplate the presence of God and to grow together.

This coming week we will read extensively from the story of the last week of Jesus’ earthly life as told in the Gospel of Luke.
Previously we heard Jesus express his great sorrow over the rejection he would receive in Jerusalem, comparing himself to a mother hen rejected by her brood who she longs to gather under her wings. Now, immediately following his triumphal entry in which the large throng of disciples “praised God with a loud voice” he openly weeps over the city.
Jesus comes riding on a donkey as the prince of peace. But the powerbrokers in Jerusalem, both Jewish and Roman will not embrace “the things that make for peace.” Because of their hard heartedness, the day will come 37 years later in 70 AD when a foolish violent rebellion against Rome will result in a siege of the city that will end with the Temple and everything else in the city reduced to rubble.
Jesus goes directly to the Temple where he drives out those who were selling the blemish-free animals, that pilgrims were required to purchase to offer to the priests, as a sacrifice to atone for their sins. For a single day, he disrupts the oppressive system that profits, from the heavy burdens placed on the backs of poor pilgrims, who have made the long journey to the Holy City seeking peace with God. Unlike Mark and Matthew who speak of Jesus “overturning tables”, and John who places in Jesus’ hand a “whip of chords”, Luke seems intent on emphasizing the non-violent nature of this action. It is a symbolic act of resistance. Though his action may have been misinterpreted, Jesus’ intention is not to strike the first blow of the violent revolution that many had hoped for.
Nonetheless, with this action Jesus has made it clear that he is a threat to the power system.
Normally Jerusalem was a city of 40,000 residents. When all the pilgrims arrived at the city for the Festival of Passover, the population would swell to half a million. Passover celebrates the story of the Jewish peoples’ liberation from the oppression of Pharaoh in Egypt, and as such it would have been a time ripe with patriotic fervor and resentment towards the Roman overlords. The authorities had reason to be anxious. They begin “looking for a way to kill” Jesus. But the multitudes of people find him captivating, and “get up early in the morning to listen to him” (Luke 21:38). Consequently, the religious authorities cannot simply have him arrested lest the people rise up against them.

Now the longest performance I did yet is over, the installation taken down, and all the results stored away. There are 46 text results, loads of photos, drawings, edits and some objects. Wonder what to do with all this. Until the official documentation goes online here, please have a look at the huge album of images from all 10 days of "Kritik der Weltmaschine" at Grüntaler9 I just uploaded to Facebook.
Hope to be able to build a new and better Weltmaschine somewhere one day!

As the five week long break came to a close, this columnist was quite happy with the amount of time spent with family. I was able to hang out with my brothers and cousins of all ages. One of my cousins, Bianca, is 10 years old, and all of her brothers are around the same ages as my brothers. In turn, I get matched up with her when our families are together. This has in the past either been highly enjoyable for me, because we will put on American Girl doll fashion shows, or I feel like our playdates are unpaid babysitting. But, there is one thing that transcends across all ages: crafting. So, when one of Bianca’s Christmas gifts (from my family, no less) was a chain bracelet making kit, I jumped at the opportunity to get my DIY on.
Paper (in the form of newspaper, magazines, old snack bags, scrapbooking paper, or whatever your little heart desires. There are billions of newspaper copies around campus. J-School perks).
Since we were using a kit with pre-cut paper strips, I didn’t have to actually measure out strips. The strips the kit gave me were about 1 x 3 inches wide, but the instructions I have used at different times tell you to make 1½ x 4-inch strips. So, take whatever paper product you are using, and measure out the 1½ x 4 inch strips, marking where you need to cut with a pen or pencil. You will need around 22-30 strips. As someone who strongly believes in “just in case,” I recommend making closer to 30 strips.
Once you have cut enough paper strips to make you never want to use scissors again, you can begin making the first link. First, fold the strip lengthwise, with the pattern side of the paper being on the outside, aka fold it “hotdog” style. Open it back up so you are looking at the crease on the inside of the paper.
Now you have to fold the sides into the crease so that they meet at the crease. It should sort of look like two little doors that open in the middle. Then, fold it closed along the original crease.
Right now you should have a little rectangle that is still the original height of the paper strip but is one-fourth the size of the original width. Fold this strip in half so that the bottom and top of the strip touch each other, which I guess is a really weird looking “hamburger” style fold. After all, this food-themed folding you may need to eat a snack.
Open this fold up so you are looking at the crease and fold the two sides into the crease so they meet at the crease. It’s just like what you did earlier. Following on the trend of doing similar things to what you did earlier, fold it closed at the crease.
Yay! You finished one whole link! Once you get the rhythm down, you will be able to crank out upwards of 22 links in no time. You will feel so accomplished, that is if a 10-year-old isn’t making links faster than you. Repeat these steps with the next link.
Once you have created a second link, you can start the chaining process. To connect the links, put the link’s arms (or legs, if you please) through the loops of the other link. As you continue to make links, make sure when you chain them together they create little, baby stairsteps. The best part is if you put the chain in the wrong way, you can easily slide it out and put it the other way. Not that I am speaking from experience or anything ... I mean, you Glossers trust that I am a pro-crafter, right?
As you make links and chain them together, check the length by wrapping it around your wrist. You want it to be large enough so that it can easily slide over your hand. Once you get to the right length, you can chain the ends together. For them to be able to connect, the links have to be perpendicular, i.e. not parallel. To chain the ends together, unfold the little arms of the last link. Thread the arms through the loops of the other link and then fold the arms down into the loops, so the paper is wrapped around the inner parts of the loops. This part really tested my sanity and resulted in my bracelet not really looking/working perfect, so don’t worry if you just kind of shove the ends back through. You can always hide that part of the bracelet on your wrist when you wear it.
What do you know, you challenged not only your dexterity and mind, but also created an adorable bracelet that can link you to your best friend, or cousin in my case. This is a great thing to do with some of that free time we all know you have. As always, happy crafting, and go Tigers!

Take the role of Tom McAllister, a former Pinkerton agent, in this adventure game set in the Old West. One day you receive an odd parcel from your brother with a letter that simply reads: "In trouble, get out to Dry Gulch as fast as ya can. - Sam." Now Sam usually is the sort of bloke who says things simple-like, but you do wish he included a little more information. Nevertheless, inside the parcel are a map and a train ticket, which should come in handy if you manage to even find this place. After taking the one train that goes anywhere near Dry Gulch, you finally arrive, and discover a run-down mining town with little in the way of amenities. Visit the local saloon, interact with townsfolk, and look for clues, as you investigate a mystery while trying to stay alive yourself - and don't forget to bring along your six-shooter! Navigate through game options, as you solve inventory and character based puzzles. This interactive story features a mix of text and photo-realistic graphics, an easy-to-use interface, and sound effects.

My family loves these power balls for breakfast, snacks and even a little lunch time dessert treat. I use them as a way to get good stuff into my kids and to do that I also use chocolate chips. I use to make them with peanut butter but I like Luke to be able to take them to school so I switch that ingredient out for wow butter. I hope your family enjoys these as much as mine does.
A baking tip I learned from my mom. Use a butter knife to scrape out and measure your butters and coconut oil, it’s easier to get an even cup then using a spoon for the task.

Once upon a time, I was a magazine fact-checker for seven years.
My book on the historic, improbable rise of the Golden State Warriors was published last year by Atria Books/Simon & Schuster. I’m biased, but I definitely think you should buy a copy or two.

February 1, 2019 — When it comes to custom work, it is not always easy to keep track of exactly how many hours you dedicated to a project, a task, or anything asked of you. Whether you begin the clock at a certain time, get tasked with other tasks or assignments at work, it can be easy to get distracted from what you are doing. With Edit Hours, you can track your time for doing specific tasks with notes to include to ensure you know exactly what you did, are doing, still have to do, etc.
This project was done for my primary company, MultiVu, to help us keep track of the work we do for clients. Originally, it was going to be a paid web app, but it was made free for anyone to use. While the capabilities of keeping track of exact payment were not added in, this can easily be done by at least just knowing the time and multipying that time by the amount you should be getting paid. At most, up to 50 times will be shown at once. You can export the times from today up to a year ago, or even export every single time you have tracked. You can also view today only or a year ago, or every time you have tracked. If you are looking for something specific, you can search by title or by a note you left yourself. You also have the ability to sort times by ascending or descending times. That is really all there is to it. It is a basic time keeper to help you keep track of your projects.
The application is very easy to use and is as easy as hitting start, stop, and adding or editing the time. If you have any suggestions for additional functionality to enhance this project for your own use, feel free to contact us. We might just add it for you if we find it useful enough. If you want to just give us a shoutout or a kudos, feel free to contact us and let us know that this project is helping you. This is our second project for 2019 and we are very happy to release it for everyone to use. It is also our fourth free project, so feel free to use it as much as you want!

Asian stock markets started in a cautious mood on Thursday as investors hoped for progress in the latest Sino-US tariff talks while bracing for China trade data that are expected to show further falls in both exports and imports.
Trends on SGX Nifty indicate a flat to negative opening for the broader index in India, a fall of 16 points or 0.15 percent. Nifty futures were trading around 10,787-level on the Singaporean Exchange.
Oil prices inched up on Thursday, buoyed by hopes that potential progress in the latest Sino-US tariff talks would improve the global economic outlook. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $53.76 per barrel at 2338 GMT, up 10 cents, or 0.2 percent, from their last settlement. They closed up 1.5 percent on Wednesday, having touched their highest since Feb. 5 at $54.60 a barrel.
Snapping its six-day winning run, the rupee Wednesday settled 10 paise lower at 70.80 against the US dollar amid rising crude prices and heavy foreign fund outflows. Forex traders said dollar buying by oil importers and strengthening of the greenback against major currencies overseas weighed on the domestic unit.
At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex) market, the rupee opened on a strong footing at 70.48 and rose further to touch the day's high of 70.40. However, it pared the initial gains and finally closed at 70.80 per dollar, down by 10 paise against its previous close.
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday trade talks with China were “going along very well” as the world’s two largest economies try to resolve their seven-month tariff war ahead of a March 1 deadline for a deal.
US tariffs on $200 billion worth of imports from China are scheduled to rise to 25 percent from 10 percent if the two sides don’t reach a deal by then, increasing pain and costs in sectors from consumer electronics to agriculture.
Both bank credit as well as deposits growth marginally declined on a fortnightly basis, clipping at 14.5 percent at Rs 94.29 lakh crore deposits grew at a tepid 9.63 percent to Rs 121.22 lakh crore for the fortnight ending February 1, according to the latest RBI data.
In the previous fortnight ended January 18, deposits had increased by 9.69 percent to Rs 119.86 lakh crore and credit grew by 14.61 percent to Rs 93.32 lakh crore. The decline was mainly driven by the poor show by agriculture and allied activities and the personal loans during the week.
The government on Wednesday hiked the minimum support price for raw jute to Rs 3,950 per quintal for 2019-20 season from Rs 3,700 per quintal in the previous season. The decision was taken at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs here, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said.
In an order dated January 31, RBI said it has imposed monetary penalty on Bank of Baroda, Corporation Bank, SBI, Union Bank of India for non-compliance with directions issued by RBI on monitoring of end use of funds, exchange of information with other banks, classification and reporting of frauds, etc. According to the press release, Corporation Bank has been fined Rs 2 crore, while BoB, SBI and Union Bank Of India were fined Rs 1 crore each.
Nearly 1000 companies will declare their results for the quarter ended December which include names like Voltas, Vadilal Dairy, Unitech, Surya Roshni, Steel Strips, Page Industries, Nestle India, MMTC, La Opala, Kaveri Seeds, Kitex Garments, JMT auto, Infibeam Avenues, Cox & Kings and Ashok Leyland among others.
For February 14, Adani Enterprises, Jet Airways, Reliance Capital, Reliance Power, Jain Irrigation Systems and IDBI Bank stocks are present in this list.

While most of us can relate to some level of addiction, be it sugar, caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol, we can’t fathom what it’s like to be homeless.
That was the case for the team at Hill Holliday too, until they started working on a campaign for Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program’s latest innovation. SPOT (Supportive Place for Observation and Treatment) is a first-of-its kind medical drop-in-center that provides life-saving interventions to members of the homeless community at risk of overdosing.
SPOT provides a safe, non-judgmental place where people can receive medical monitoring, harm reduction support, and access recovery services. Since opening in 2016, it has exceeded all expectations. What started as a simple conference room turned into a 12-chair triage center, and has logged over 8,000 visits so far, with 1 in 5 of its participants moving onto addiction treatment.
The target audience was Boston’s “millennial mobilizers”— who pride themselves on pushing important issues into the social media spotlight. We had to drive them to donate — and to ask others to find the compassion to do the same.
Not your typical assignment, but a genuine opportunity to actually make a measurable difference in the lives of others, a rare occasion in the life of an agency creative. Turns out, our lives were the ones that would never be the same.
When folks from the agency began meeting some of the SPOT participants, the campaign revealed itself: Boston’s Underdogs. No one expected these people to live, let alone come back from the brink of hopeless addiction to participate meaningfully in the world. And everyone in Boston, sports fan or not, could relate to the idea of being the predicted loser.

Soul legend Donny Hathaway will be honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the singer-songwriter's untimely death.
The 2019 list of recipients, announced by the Recording Academy last Wednesday (Dec. 19), features Dionne Warwick, George Clinton & Parliament, Black Sabbath, Julio Iglesias, Billy Eckstine, and Sam & Dave.
The Chicago native is one of three posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award recipients, alongside Dave Prater of Sam & Dave, the soul music pairing of Prater and Sam Moore, best known for the 1967 hit “Soul Man.” Eckstine, the third among the posthumous recipients, was a jazz legend and bandleader of the swing era. He died in 1993.
"Each year, the Recording Academy has the distinct privilege of celebrating music industry giants who have greatly contributed to our cultural heritage," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of the Recording Academy. "This year, we have a gifted and brilliant group of honorees and their exceptional accomplishments, contributions, and artistry will continue to influence and inspire generations to come."
The Recording Academy also announced honorees of the 2019 Trustee Awards, including the late Nick Ashford, of Ashford & Simpson, the songwriting team responsible for timeless hits such as “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “You’re All I Need to Get By” and “I'm Every Woman.” Ashford, who died in 2011, will be honored along with his wife and music partner, Valerie Simpson.
A special award presentation ceremony celebrating the honorees will be held in Los Angeles on May, 11, 2019.

Naturalized player Andray Blatche will not suit up for the upcoming fifth window of the 2019 FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers after being excluded from the national team player pool unveiled on Tuesday, Nov. 06.
According to coach Joseller ‘Yeng’ Guiao, they made the ‘hard decision’ of not including Blatche to the 20-man player pool due to numerous considerations including the chemistry and bond built during the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia, and the fourth window of the Asian Qualifiers.
In the said games, Fil-German Christian Standhardinger and Fil – American Stanley Pringle served as the naturalized player of Gilas Pilipinas due to the three – game suspension imposed on Blatche by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). The sanctions stemmed from the in-game brawl between the national teams of Philippines and Australia last July.
Guiao also explained that they are faced with limitations in utilizing Blatche who will remain suspended during the game against Kazakhstan on Nov. 30 and can only play in the match against Iran on Dec. 3. Both games will happen in Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay City.
Furthermore, the veteran coach mentioned that Standhardinger produced ‘numbers that cannot be argued against’ when he played during the Asian Games and in the September 13 loss against Iran during the fourth window.
“He (Standhardinger) deserve a strong consideration in the line – up,” Guiao added.
Aside from Blatche, another noticeable absentee from the line – up is Gilas Pilipinas veteran Terrence Romeo, who will finish serving his suspension after the Nov. 30 game.
“There is just too much talent in this team, especially in the guard position,” Guiao said regarding the exclusion of the Romeo in the Philippine National Men’s Basketball team player pool.
Guiao assured that Blatche and Romeo will be considered for the sixth window on February 2019 since both of them will no longer serve any suspensions and can play in both of the away games against Qatar and Kazakhstan.
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) president Alfredo Panlilo also hoped that Blatche will remain ‘in shape’ for the next window.
Guiao admitted that the absence of Blatche from the line – up will be an experiment whether the Philippine team can compete against the best while relying only on players with Filipino blood.
“Siguro kapag nakita natin na nahihirapan tayo at hindi natin kaya, he (Blatche) is always there as an option,” Guiao said.
Prior the announcing of the player pool, Blatche has already expressed his readiness to return to the Philippine team. He even posted pictures of him during the previous games of the national team in his Instagram account, and captioned it with ‘war ready waiting on that phone call for these two upcoming games’.
Meanwhile, Jayson Castro and Troy Rosario has been given a slot in the national team pool even though both players can only play in the Dec. 3 game.
They are joined by Standhardinger, Pringle, June Mar Fajardo, Greg Slaughter, Japeth Aguilar, Ian Sangalang, Paul Lee, Alex Cabagnot, Matthew Wright, Marcio Lassiter, Scottie Thompson, Gabe Norwood, Beau Belga, and Poy Erram.
Gilas cadets Kai Sotto and Ricci Rivero have also been included to the national team pool.

A current passport with appropriate Visa, or provide eligibility of an suitable Visa.
Two written teaching related references/testimonials (practicum reports are suitable for Newly Qualified Teachers).
Relevant Academic Transcripts and Education Certificates.
A current Police/Criminal History Check issued in both the country you are currently working in and countries you have previously work in.
Completion of the Academics Online Registration process.
Academics places Secondary, Primary and Special Needs teachers in UK Schools. You will be working either as a contractor (i.e. paid by Academics) in a fixed term position or as a permanent teacher (i.e. paid by the School or Local Education Authority).
As a contractor you are paid an agreed daily rate, and your salary is paid on a weekly basis following submission of a completed timesheet. As a contractor you are also in a position to register under a limited company agreement which allows you to offset a number of your work related expenses against tax and national insurance. You can find out more about this HERE.
If you are appointed as a permanent member of teaching staff, or on a contract directly with the school, you will be paid monthly including holiday and sick pay. Under this type of contract, you are unable to offset expenses against tax and national insurance. Each type of contract has its own advantages, and you can discuss which option is best for you with your consultant.
Pay rates as a contractor are negotiable. The role and responsibility, your previous experience, the type and location of school you will be working in, and the length of the contract are just some of the factors that go in to determining your daily pay rate. It can be expected that the more UK teaching experience you gain or the more your role/responsibilities are increased, then the stronger position you are in to negotiate a higher daily pay rate.
If you are looking at taking up a permanent post, you will need to apply for and be granted British Qualified Teaching Status (QTS). With QTS, any previous overseas teaching experience will be taken into account when determining your pay scale. Without QTS, a school or Local Education Authority don’t have to recognise any previous overseas teaching experience if they don't wish too.
Qualified Teacher Status is an accreditation awarded to UK trained teachers after they have completed an initial period of training. If you received your training/qualification outside the UK, you can work for up to 4 years in England and Wales as a temporary teacher without QTS. However, you must have QTS to take up a permanent position.
Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and American trained teachers may be recognised as a qualified teacher and can apply for QTS in England. However, you will still need to satisfy any visa and immigration requirements that may apply to you when wanting to work in the UK.
In Australia – A state or territory’s Department for Education or Teachers Registration Board.
In New Zealand – The New Zealand Teachers’ Council.
Teachers who work in London can expect to earn 10-15% more than those outside London (again this is determined by the type of position) to cover the higher cost of living such as transport and accommodation. For information on teacher pay scales and benefits in the UK click here.
Yes, once you attend your Registration Interview in our London Office soon after your arrival, you will complete the necessary paperwork required to open your new bank account. Within 7 working days you should have your cheque book, ATM card and PIN number posted to you ready in time for your first pay packet!
Yes of course. Please contact our office in Australia for assistance on freecall 1800 75 24 84. We are happy to answer questions you may have during this process.
Our International Office in Australia handles the majority of general enquiries with regards to teaching, living and travelling to the UK. Our teams of consultants in the UK are available to pass on their knowledge and advice to ensure you experience a smooth transition. This can be anything from helping you find somewhere to live, advising you on the curriculum in your subject, to some of the top places to visit around the world. This is a free service so do take advantage!
To apply for a Youth Mobility Visa, the British High Commission will ask you to provide a bank statement that indicates you have roughly AUD$3800-4000 in your bank account. It is advised that you use this amount as a minimum to cover any upfront bond/rent you need to pay upon your arrival or even illness that prevents you from working right away. Most landlords will require a bond of one month to 6 weeks along with your first month’s rent, so it’s important you plan for that before leaving your home country.
Regardless of the type of Visa you are applying for (or if you’re lucky enough to not require one at all), $4,000 is a good amount to work towards having in your bank account.
It is common for the majority of vacancies to start at the beginning of a Term, particularly Term 1 (first week of September) and Term 2 (first week of January). As schools generally have more time in which to interview and make suitable appointments for their teaching vacancies. Many schools are also more open to offering a position to a teacher prior to their arrival via a phone or skype interview.
Having said that, we still place teachers in all sorts of roles mid way through a term, so if you’re thinking of taking a leap of faith and travelling to London anyway, we’ll do everything we can to have you in work soon after you arrive.
OFSTED stands for the Office of Standards in Education, an independent and impartial organisation that reports directly the UK Government. It inspects and regulates the services which care for children and young people, such as education providers. OFSTED performs hundreds of school inspections every week and publishes the results on their website. For more information on OFSTED, visit ofsted.gov.uk.
The school year is 39 weeks like in most countries with each term either 12 or 13 weeks long depending on when Easter falls. A half term break for one week is taken in the middle of every term, every six to seven weeks.
Two weeks are given at the end of Term 1 at Christmas and the end of Term 2 over the Easter break. The end of Term 3 marks the beginning of summer holidays, running from mid July to the end of August.
Absolutely, our regional offices will be busily starting the recruitment process before you arrive, with the aim of having a post secured for you on arrival. You will receive regular calls and emails to ensure they understand your requirements as well as to discuss potential positions with you.
Once you have found long term accommodation you should look at registering with a local GP. Healthcare in the UK is free and run by the National Health Service (NHS), but you do need to register before you get sick as it’s not always possible just to turn up. Most Commonwealth countries have reciprocal public health service with the UK so showing your Medicare Card or equivalent will suffice. It’s also a good idea to check out where your nearest Hospital is located with an Accident & Emergency Department should you ever need more urgent care.
Teachers who are employed as a contractor on a weekly timesheet basis do not earn a superannuation or pension contribution. This is already worked into your daily pay rate. Teachers who are employed as a permanent staff member (ie. paid directly by the school) will be entitled to a superannuation/pension contribution.
Those teachers who are not UK Citizens, have the option for their superannuation/pension to be included in their monthly pay. Those who decide not to take it as part of their monthly pay, will have a superannuation/pension contribution being made to the fund set up for employees of that school.
A teacher who has collected a superannuation/pension contribution can transfer this to their fund in their home country once they have finished working in the UK for the last time. Any superannuation/pension contribution must be transferred to a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS).
The Consultant who lined up the interview will speak with you directly to ensure you are well prepared and have covered all bases. To give you the best chance at the interview it is recommended you do some research. Firstly, check out the school’s website. Successful interviewees give clear and concise examples of good teaching work practice in answer to questions asked. Be honest and enthusiastic about the position being offered.
Never fear, I bet we can answer all of them! Start by taking a look at further links on the ‘Useful Information’ section of our website.

The Los Angeles Angels head to the Peoria Stadium in Arizona for a showdown with the Seattle Mariners in the continuing Spring Training exhibition games of the MLB.
The Angels are currently at an even 12-12 in Cactus League Play. They are in the middle of the standings and are trailing the league leading San Diego Padres by three full games. LA enters this contest having won only four times in their last 13 preseason games.
Dillon Peters will start on top of the hill for the Angels on Frida. The 26-year old from the University of Texas has pitched 5 games with three starts in the current preseason. He owns a 1-0 record with an ERA of 3.86 and a WHIP of 1.36. Peters has pitched in a total of 14.0 innings and has given up 15 hits and 7 runs while striking out 9 batters.
Center fielder Peter Bourjos leads the Angels with 14 hits on 46 at bats (.304), 10 RBIs and three home runs. 3rd baseman Taylor Ward has 10 RBIs on 13 hits while Cesar Puello has 8 RBIs on 13 hits as well. First baseman Justin Bour also has three homers and six RBIs for the Angels.
The Mariners are not far behind at 8-9 in the Cactus League standings and are just 3.5 games behind the pace of the league leaders. Seattle has struggled as of late too as they have drooped eight out of their last 13 games.
Seattle will star Tyler Danish on Friday. The 24-year old right hander has pitched just twice in preseason action and has not figured in a decision. Danish has pitched just a total of 2.2 innings and has allowed just a solitary hit with three walks and four strikeouts with a WHIP of 1.50.
Right fielder Jay Bruce leads the Mariners with 13 hits in 30 at bats (.433).Braden Bishop and Domingo Santana have 11 and 10 hits, respectively and have combined for a total of 21 RBIs and seven homers in preseason play. First baseman Ryon Healy has 8 RBIs on 7 hits with two home runs.
Prediction: Seattle Mariners. Sure, most of their top performers in Spring Training are gone, opening the MLB regular season in Japan. But this is a team that has played a balanced game as evidenced by their zero run differential. On the other hand, the Angels are a -10 in run difference, have given up the most runs in Spring Training and have the next to last ERA at 6.04.

Los Angeles developer CIM Group is planning a 27-acre "mini-city" for downtown Atlanta, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a project that will be the largest area development since the 1960s.
The project will include new infrastructure around existing MARTA stations, 9 million square feet of office space, 1 million square feet of retail, 1,000 residential units and 1,500 hotel rooms. The development will also include at least nine high-rises, each at least 225 feet tall, with one planned for a height of 500 feet.
The new development could be one of the proposed sites for Amazon's $5 billion second North American headquarters. The project aligns with previous plans for a $193 million renovation of Philips Arena.
Atlanta joins 237 other bidders that hope to win this year's ultimate development prize — the new Amazon HQ2. Already this year, Atlanta has seen a spate of construction from the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium to student housing and infrastructure, with its Midtown region alone seeing more than 40 upcoming and expected developments at the beginning of this year. Though those developments were planned before the online retail giant announced plans for its second headquarters, the Atlanta's building boom will likely give the city a boost in the competition to win the bid for Amazon.
Developer Sterling Bay is also planning on grabbing Amazon's eye with a $10 billion, mixed-use Chicago waterfront development anchored by a 20,000-seat soccer stadium. But the offers don't stop at infrastructure and skyscrapers. Bids sent to Amazon also included billions in potential tax breaks and other economic incentives. New Jersey put together the biggest package — $7 billion — with Irvine, CA, Philadelphia and the state of Maryland not far behind.
Other U.S. cities like Dallas and Portland, OR, are also making a grab at winning Amazon's attention. Still, some advocacy groups in Seattle, the company's homebase, are warning contenders to think about what it means to invite the company to their regions.

Two Zelda fans, named Paco Martinez and Pablo Belmonte, have been working on an HD version of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask for the past couple years, and they have just released a new video documenting the progress.
It’s worth noting that this game is not meant to be playable, but is instead being used to show Nintendo once it is completed. They are hoping that the footage will convince the company to go ahead and remake their own version of the game.

Slightly Mad Studios’ Project CARS will be coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC sometime in November, but somewhere along the way the Wii U version fell out of the loop.
So, the poor old Wii U version hasn’t been canned entirely, it’s just gonna take a little while longer to get that one out on the shelves. This seems to be the pattern as of late, as the more powerful versions of games that also stand to sell a hell of a lot more are given priority over the Wii U version. As long as they give it the proper attention and don’t make it a cheap downgrade then all will be well in the world.

Everyone knows that Super Mario is an Italian plumber made by the Japanese, but we also know that he is most loyal to the country that made him an icon. In the latest Super Smash Bros. games, Mario’s alternate costume prominently displays the American flag in all of its glory.
The news was revealed via the official Super Smash Bros. twitter account. It has also been noted that the costume was inspired by the NES Open Tournament Golf costume (which you can view here).
Check out Mario’s alternate costume below!

Schiller and Beethoven are kindred souls and spirits. They live in the same world, and converse across time as equals. Schiller wrote the Ode to Joy at 26, in 1785. It is most likely that Beethoven first came across it at 22, in 1792. At that time, the city of Bonn, where the composer was born, was one of the epicentres of the Enlightenment movement. Many books, which elsewhere were deemed “dangerous” by obscurantist regimes, were circulating around freely. In such a cultural environment, Beethoven had had the opportunity to read Voltaire and Rousseau, as well as Goethe, Schiller, Kant and the Greek philosophers.
Another significant fact is that the symbiotic convergence of symbols and allegories of the Age of Enlightenment at that time - the waning 18th century - is rooted in the Masonic movement. The lodges which had been in turmoil after the 1789 French Revolution were now simmering with excitement at the dawn of the new century.
In this particular context, the pronounced use of masonic elements in the Ode comes as no surprise. It is also probably a result of Schiller’s visits to Dresden or Loschwitz, where he moved in a circle of friends who belonged to the local lodges. Quite naturally, the Ode would then have been worked on and sung at masonic meetings. But even out of this specific context, we must bear in mind that the message conveyed by the Ode echoed and reflected its whole historical environment. Around 1810, in the streets of Bonn, vitalized by revolutionary echoes from across the Rhine, students sang the Ode to the music of the Marseillaise.
Let us emphasize in passing that in spite of their obvious connivance with the founding principles of freemasonry, neither Schiller nor Beethoven ever were Freemasons themselves. This was confirmed by one of the leading authorities on the subject, our late friend Philippe A. Autexier, shortly before his demise. The very principles of freemasonry are undoubtedly at the roots of several works of both artists, but even if they gave masonic theories their support, they never joined the movement.
At the outset, Schiller’s poem was conceived as an Ode to Freedom. The switch from freedom to joy must be understood as widening the scope of the Ode. Freedom may represent the basic foundations of our human condition, but Joy is the very blooming of this condition. Schiller revised the Ode around 1803. It is this revised version which Beethoven used to erect the impressive musical-textual monument of the fourth movement of his last symphony. He also modified Schiller’s text quite drastically in places, adding, by way of an introduction, a whole strophe of his own.
The coherence and ingenuity underlying Beethoven’s work on Schiller’s text are impressive. Deleting whole passages, changing the order of the strophes and selecting what was to be repeated, he never lost the clear objective he had in mind : to concentrate on essentials and develop this “working drawing” as an element of the formal structure of his score.
Beethoven’s mastery should be no surprise : after all, he carried Schiller’s text with him for 29 or 30 years. From a strictly textual point of view, it is clear that the composer followed the principle of binary couplets in his adaptation, but did not take the choir’s answers into account. This drastic formal change is the result of a deliberate choice : the fourth movement will by no means follow a dialogue structure between choir and vocal soloists. The progression choir/soloists builds a non-stop line of song, both groups blending without ever falling into bipartite dialogue.
Beethoven’s oratory skills were too great for him to be satisfied with using Schiller’s text without taking preparatory steps. While working on the vocal-instrumental variations of the fourth movement, he felt it necessary to write an introduction to Schiller’s poem himself, something that would usher in word and song. After jotting down a few ideas in his sketchbooks, he finally wrote a text that fitted in with his selected extracts from the Ode. Its easy, natural tone adds even more feeling and sincerity to the content of both introduction and following text.
O friends, no more these sounds !
A song full of joy !
O Freunde, nicht diese Tone !
In Beethoven’s eyes, adding a few lines of his own did not mean interfering with the text but establishing a transition between worldly desire - leading to chaos, as expressed in the introductory bars of the fourth movement - and the will of Man to free himself, as evoked by the poet.
Yet even today, surprisingly enough, the fourth movement is still regarded as a separate entity, and the introduction of the voice in purely instrumental music still arouses much controversy. Upon closer examination, it is obvious that the last movement of the Ninth Symphony is the result of the previous three, as far as form and sound are concerned. Moreover, the very evolution of music bears testimony that this symphony broke fresh musical ground into the 19th century.
For a better understanding of Beethoven’s attitude towards Schiller’s poem and of the prosodic requirements he had to meet, both Schiller’s unabridged text and Beethoven’s revised version are provided hereafter.

The Swordsman is a character in Majora's Mask. He is the training instructor of the Swordsman's School in West Clock Town.
On any day, Link can make his way to West Clock Town to meet the Swordsman. The swordsman says he is a brave warrior, and is fearless of even the moon. He has a stern demeanor, and can be hard on Link. He sits cross-legged and upon a small stage, waiting for worthy customers. He offers two types of training: a novice training course for one rupee, and an expert course for ten rupees. The novice course will introduce Link to the regular sword controls and how to use them. The expert course, on the other hand, is more of a challenge. During the course, 10 logs will come up from the floor. Link can destroy them anyway he wants to, but in order to get a perfect score of 30, Link must use the jump attack on all ten of them. If Link gets a perfect score, the Swordsman will recognize Link as a master and reward him with a Piece of Heart.
On the final night, Link can find the Swordsman in the back of the shop, curled up weeping, and saying that he doesn't want to die. It turns out that his tough guy image was just a facade.

Stone vs. Tile Floors: Which is a Better Investment?
Not all flooring is created equal. When it comes to natural stone and tile, each option is great in its own way. They are both great options for your home’s resale value.
But natural stone and tile have their own characteristics that make them unique. Choosing the best flooring option comes down to a matter of your taste and specific needs. Here are some things to keep in mind when deciding between natural stone and tile for your floor.
Natural Stone And Tile: Which Is Better?
The real estate market is constantly shifting, making it difficult to predict which trends will come and go. No matter which you go with, there will be benefits and drawbacks to each. Let’s take a look at what you get with natural stone and tile to help you figure which is the best option for your renovation project.
Some flooring trends will never change, however. Stone floors will always be the Cadillac gold standard of home renovation. Yet, they’re not without their downsides.
Slate is a metamorphic stone. It starts out as a sedimentary rock and is compressed via high temperatures and compression over vast amounts of time. This makes slate smoother than the other most common stone flooring on the market.
Marble, limestone, and travertine are all sedimentary stones. Sedimentary stone is comprised of natural fossil remains, compressed over time. This gives a rougher, more textured appearance and consistency.
Granite is an igneous stone. Igneous stones are created by the heating and cooling of volcanic rock. It is the most durable and most resistant to cracks.
You can learn more about natural stone and tile flooring by reading Better Home & Garden’s Guide To Stone Flooring.
Natural stone is a great investment for resale value, but it does require more of an initial investment.
Tile flooring is also a classic flooring option. Its vivid colors make it perfect for a vibrant interior design. It’s durable enough to withstand the strains of time. However, tile floors can be a bit more delicate than stone flooring.
There are perks and drawbacks to both natural stone and tile flooring. It all boils down to your vision of your ideal home and how you hope to use it.

A BASE jumper snagged in a tree, an injured landscape photographer and a walker with heart problems kept a Lakeland rescue team busy with three callouts in one day.
Keswick Mountain Rescue Team was alerted shortly after 6pm on Friday when a woman looking out of her window near Thirlmere spotted a BASE jumper leap from the top of Raven Crag.
She witnessed him land half way down the crag, caught in a tree, and rang 999.
Keswick Mountain Rescue Team sent two vehicles to the scene, one travelling up a track at the back of The Benn, leading up behind the crag, and the other going along the reservoir dam to try to spot the parachutist’s position.
A team spokesperson said: “His chute could be seen hanging on the crag, but fortunately a team member who had gone direct met up with one of his companions who told her that the casualty had got down safely.
Earlier, the volunteers from the team were called to the path between Rosthwaite and Watendlath where a 70-year-old man was reported to be suffering from a ‘racing heart’.
A woman walker came across the man and raised the alarm from a nearby hotel.
The team spokesperson said: “The team set off to Rosthwaite with two vehicles full of personnel, and checked on the availability of the air support, given the symptoms displayed.
“Initially, it looked as if no air ambulance would be available, and as the casualty was some way up the hill, the Coastguard helicopter from Caernarfon was requested.
“Fortunately, Helimed 58 [the Great North Air Ambulance] became available after the job it was on was dealt with, and was able to land reasonably close to the casualty site.
The team’s first callout on Friday came when a 26-year-old man, taking advantage of the stunning weather to take photographs on Threlkeld Knotts, fell more than 160ft and injured himself.
He stepped over a wire fence surrounding Hill Top Quarry, the ground gave way beneath him, and he fell about 50m and hit a rock spike on the way down.
The team spokesperson said: “He suffered what appeared to be a serious leg injury, but was otherwise relatively unscathed.
“He landed in the base of the quarry, but was able to crawl to a point where he could phone for assistance. An ambulance was able to get relatively close, but the team managed to drive its four-wheel-drive Sprinter ambulance right next to him. He was given analgesia, was splinted, and then transferred by Sprinter to the ambulance 400m away.
The ambulance then took him to the Cumberland Infirmary for treatment. The team was later informed his injury consisted of soft tissue damage to his ankle and cuts and bruises. He was, the spokesperson said, a lucky man.
"He stepped over a wire fence surrounding Hill Top Quarry, the ground gave way beneath him, and he fell about 50m and hit a rock spike on the way down"......I wonder what the fence had been put there for?
Hope the tree under Raven Crag is OK.

Though this 13-room house was not built until 1884, the acclaimed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted-who helped design the suburb of Riverside in the 1860s-would likely have loved the place, with its rusticated stone base, verdant paint job, and busy, many-angled roofline.
Part of the credit for the house’s charm goes to Robert and Julia Mosbrook-he’s a trader at the Chicago Board of Trade; she’s a graphic designer-who bought the home in December 2002 and undertook a 16-month renovation. “Everything we did was supposed to restore it as much as possible to the original look,” Julia says. The couple used a book about Riverside in 1896 as a guide; among other things, they stripped the white aluminum siding off the house’s exterior and replaced it with painted cedar.
With plans to move into a smaller Riverside home, the Mosbrooks put the house on the market this past February, listing it with Joan Wert of Burlington Realty. It sold in April, setting a record-according to data from the Multiple Listing Service of Northern Illinois-as the suburb’s most expensive vintage-home sale. (Only one Riverside house has sold for more-for $1.725 million in 2006-and it was brand new.) At press time, the names of the new owners had not yet appeared in public records.

Where are my readers at? I don't know about you, but summer is the season when I get into my reading groove. There's nothing better than sitting around on a hot, lazy day with a book in my hands and an iced tea by my side.

I'm joining my sweet friend, Molly, from Lucky to be in First to bring you my 2016 summer reading list. Read on for some great recommendations as well as a list of books I look forward to reading!
Let's start with my recommendations. These are books that you should definitely read! I've read them, and I loved each and every one of them (otherwise, I wouldn't be recommending them-hehe).
Shopaholic to the Rescue (I'm a sucker for these books. They are so entertaining. I just finished this one and I am basically telling everyone I meet that they should read it.).
I have a stack of books that I'm ready to read this summer. These are all books that I want to read because, well, I've already bought them and they are just waiting for me crack them open. Curious as to what's on my summer reading list?
Up until last year, I had a strict "no PD books during the summer" policy. But, that is no longer the case. During the summer I have time to read, so I read it all! Here are a few PD books you might want to read (if you haven't already done so).
Do you have a great summer reading recommendation of your own? Leave the title in a comment below and I'll be sure to check it out!
I love the comprehension connections book. I teach a PD on it for our school district. My students love learning about how to make the connections and using the words like metacognition.
I am so happy to hear this! I'm planning to start it in the next few days, and now I'm super excited to crack it open!
Oooooh love your suggestions! I want to read that new Jennifer Weiner book!
Thanks, Molly! Add it to your list, you won't regret it!
The Reading Strategies Book is definitely amazing! I am going to have to check out a few of these fun books!
I agree, Kelly! It is such a useful resource to have on hand! I hope you find some great books to tackle this summer. Have a good one!
I can't wait to check out the Mary Kay Andrews books. I just finished Mystic Summer. It was pretty good. Now I'm reading The BFG to decide between it and Pax for Global Read Aloud 16 in my classroom.
I hope you do! Her books are always so much fun. I would really like to read the BFG. I'm sure many of my students will be seeing the movie this summer. It might be a fun read aloud for next year. Happy reading!

... like noticing that, while we weren't quite paying attention, a group of 8 (!!) paper wasps found their way inside the house and are all clustered against the upper window.
Do paper wasps come in through the chimney? Is there anything one can do about that?
Book three of the Expanse series is Abaddon's Gate.
Abaddon's Gate starts out as a continuation of books one and two.
Which is great, and I would have been just fine with that.
But then, about halfway through (page 266, to be exact), Abaddon's Gate takes a sudden and startling 90 degree turn, revealing that much of what you thought you knew from the first two books is completely wrong, and exposing a whole new set of ideas to contemplate.
And so, then, off we go, in a completely new direction!
One of the things I'm really enjoying about the series is the "long now" perspective that it takes. You might think that a couple thousand years of written history is a pretty decent accomplishment for a sentient species, but pah! that's really nothing, in the big picture of things.
If you liked the first two books, you'll enjoy Abaddon's Gate. If you didn't like any of this, well, you probably figured that out about 50 pages into Leviathan Wakes and that's fine, too.
I seem to be posting a lot less frequently recently. I was traveling, work has been crazy busy, you know how it goes. Oh, well.
I was looking at some stuff while I was traveling, and reviewing what I thought, and decided it still holds, so I decided to post it here.
Always do your banking and other important web accesses from your own personal computer, not from public computers like those in hotel business centers, coffee shops, etc.
Always use Chrome or Firefox to access "important" web sites like the bank, credit cards, Amazon, etc.
Always let Windows Update automatically update your computer as it wants to, also always let Chrome and Firefox update themselves when they want to.
Stick with GMail, it's about as secure as email can get right now. Train yourself to be suspicious of weird mails from unknown senders, or with weird links in them, just in case you get a "phishing" mail that pretends to be from your bank or credit card company, etc.
If you get a mail from a company you care about (bank, retirement account, credit card, health care company, etc.), instead of clicking on the link in the mail, ALWAYS open up a new browser window and type in the https:// URL of the bank or whatever yourself. It's clicking the link in the email that gets you in trouble.
At least once a week or so, sign on and look at your credit card charges, your bank account, your retirement account, etc., just to see that everything on there looks as it should be. If not, call your bank and credit card company, dispute the charge, and ask them to send you a new credit card, ATM card, whatever it was.
Don't accept phone calls from people who aren't in your contacts, or whose call you didn't expect. If you accept a phone call that you think might be legitimate (e.g., from your bank or credit card company), but you need to discuss your account, hang up and call them back, using the main service number from their web site, not the number that called you. Never answer "security questions" over the phone unless you initiated the call yourself. Con artists that call you on the phone can be really persuasive, this is actually the biggest threat nowadays I think.
If you do these simple things, you have made yourself a sufficiently "hard" target that the bad guys will go find somebody who's a lot easier to attack instead of you.
WC 2018 ? Not this year, I guess.
The nightmare scenario has played out for the U.S. men's national team.
Trinidad and Tobago, which hadn't won in its last nine matches (0-8-1), exacted revenge for the 1989 elimination at the hands of the United States, doing so in stunning fashion. An own goal from Omar Gonzalez and a rocket from Alvin Jones provided the offense, while Christian Pulisic's second-half goal wasn't enough to save the Americans.
And it seems like there's a fair chance I won't be able to root for Leo Messi, either?
Let's see: there's still Iceland! They're easy to root for!
Perhaps Wales? Perhaps Costa Rica? Perhaps Chile?
I'm ready, I'm an eager Yankee, looking for a team with some charisma, some elan, some heart, some fighting spirit.
It's still a few weeks until the tournament qualifications are known.
One of my voracious reader friends introduced me to Tana French and her Dublin Murder Squad series, of which In the Woods is the first entry.
Structurally, In the Woods is a classic mystery: something horrible has happened, and the detectives are called; evidence is collected; witnesses are interviewed; leads are developed and followed; more is learned.
Along the way, we explore issues such as gender discrimination in the workplace and the ongoing effects of the great recession of 2008.
What distinguishes In the Woods is not these basic elements, but more the style and depth with which they are elaborated and pursued.
But did I mention style? What really makes In the Woods a delight is the ferocious lyricism that French brings to her writing.
These three children own the summer. They know the wood as surely as they know the microlandscapes of their own grazed knees; put them down blindfolded in any dell or clearing and they could find their way out without putting a foot wrong. This is their territory, and they rule it wild and lordly as young animals; they scramble through its trees and hide-and-seek in its hollows all the endless day long, and all night in their dreams.
They are running into legend, into sleepover stories and nightmares parents never hear. Down the faint lost paths you would never find alone, skidding round the tumbled stone walls, they stream calls and shoelaces behind them like comet-trails.
How marvelous is this, at every level!
Structurally, it's almost poetry, with a natural sing-song cadence and a subtly-reinforced pattern induced by the simple rhythms ("they know...", "they rule...", "they scramble...", "they stream...").
Stylistically, each little turn of phrase is so graceful and just right ("their own grazed knees", "wild and lordly as young animals", "calls and shoelaces").
They are running into legend, into sleepover stories and nightmares parents never hear.
Anyway, that's just page 2. French is just as polished and capable on page 302, and, like any good mystery, once you start, you won't want to stop, even as you know (or think you know) what lies ahead.
From what I hear, French's subsequent books are wonderful as well; I shall certainly read more.
All that anyone has been able to talk about recently (or so it seems), is "repeal and replace."
It's a pretty interesting topic to me, partly because, as I get older, I'm thinking more and more about healthcare, and partly just because I think it's an awfully important topic.
But I didn't feel like I learned a lot during all the recent debates.
Now, Cochrane is a pretty serious fellow, with pretty serious credentials, so my expectations were fairly high, perhaps unreasonably high.
I survey the supply, demand, and market for health care, and health insurance, to think about how those markets should work to provide quality care, low cost, and technical innovation. A market-based alternative does exist, and it is realistic.
Personal-injury law firms are already lining up to sue based on the “inferior quality” of outsourced readings, with requisite horror stories.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the effect that malpractice lawsuits have had on healthcare costs. Surely he should have more to say than this?
And I was saddened that there was very little reflection about the basic fact that the biggest reason that the United States spends dramatically more on healthcare than we did 75 years ago is because of ADVANCES in healthcare: people are living longer, so over the course of their lives they get more healthcare. Moreover, many ailments which were formerly not treatable now are reliably and safely treatable, so we treat them.
More treatment, over longer life spans, equals a greater amount of resources spent on healthcare.
But then he moves rapidly on, without really spending any time to discuss how we might get by with less healthcare, overall, in some sensible fashion.
In Illinois as in 35 other states, every new hospital, or even major purchase, requires a “certificate of need.” This certificate is issued by our “hospital equalization board,” appointed by the governor and, like much of Illinois politics, regularly in the newspapers for various scandals. The board has an explicit mandate to defend the profitability of existing hospitals. It holds hearings at which they can complain that a new entrant would hurt their bottom line.
To summarize briefly, health insurance should be individual, portable, life-long, guaranteed-renewable, transferrable, competitive, and lightly regulated, mostly to ensure that companies keep their contractual promises. “Guaranteed renewable” means that your premiums do not increase and you can’t be dropped if you get sick. “Transferable” gives you the right to change insurance companies, increasing competition.
Insurance should be insurance, not a negotiator and payment plan for routine expenses. It should protect overall wealth from large shocks, leaving as many marginal decisions unaltered as possible.
These are both tremendously good insights, and were certainly worth the time I invested in Cochrane's essay.
But most of the rest of Cochrane's paper baffled me.
More than just baffled me; it flat-out astonished me.
Cochrane's main point seems to be that consuming healthcare should be much more like going to a restaurant, or hiring a gardening service for your house, or buying an airplane ticket, or choosing a new set of tires for your car: you should check Yelp before you make your decision; you should shop around for the best price; you should probably even try to use a coupon or negotiate for a better deal.
Health care is not that different from the services provided by lawyers, auto mechanics, home remodelers, tax accountants, financial planners, restaurants, airlines or college professors.
Confidentiality regulations, apparently more stringent than those for your money in the bank.
Is it possible that Cochrane has never had to have a sensitive discussion with his doctor? Never felt like he needed to have any deeper of a relationship than he has with the barista who makes his coffee in the morning? Is his life really that uncomplicated?
You don’t need an “insurance” company to negotiate your cellphone contract, home repair and rehab, mortgage, airline fare, legal bills, or clothes, as we do for health.
I'll grant that people certainly negotiate the price they pay for their house, and there may be some people who negotiate the price they pay for their legal bills, but do you actually know anyone who negotiates their cellphone contract? Their airline fare? The price of their clothes?
And how many acquaintances do you have (other than medical professionals) who have the requisite base knowledge to negotiate, say, a reasonable price for spinal surgery?
Our health care system actually does a pretty decent job with heart attacks.
... have they no families? If I’m on the way to the hospital, I call my wife. She’s a heck of a negotiator.
When you have a heart attack, your wife should be negotiating with the hospital while you're in the ambulance? Or she should be browsing Yelp, deciding whether to tell the ambulance to take you to hospital A or hospital B?
Maybe all Cochrane means by "negotiate" is "shop around", and if that's true, then certainly I grant that there's a big place for that.
And it definitely seems like it used to be Common Wisdom that for any significant medical issue, you should get a second opinion, so maybe that's what Cochrane is trying to say.
Although, when people used to say "you should get a second opinion," it was typically the QUALITY of the medical advice that was of concern, not the PRICE of the medical advice.
The people that I know are generally much more concerned about the SUCCESS of that triple bypass, not about its cost.
Most of the people that I know don't even really negotiate the price of their house. Rather, they try to pick a decent real estate agent, and let the agent handle the negotiation. I do know a handful of people that are able to do this successfully on their own; a much smaller number of them enjoyed it; a smaller segment still have actually done that multiple times in their life.
Ask around about buying a car: this is really the experience you want when you need arthroscopic surgery on your knee?
What you want is for the pain to go away, and for you to be able to take up hiking again.
So, in the end, I struggle to comprehend what sort of world it is that Cochrane envisions.
It seems like his ideal is a situation in which we are all informed consumers, and have no trouble evaluating whether we are being given a good deal for duodenal atresia surgery or base cell carcinoma immunotherapy, in which we arrange to have strokes, aneurysms, broken arms and heart attacks with enough advance notice that we can consult Yelp before the ambulance arrives, and in which we respond to being told that the yearly mammogram will cost $375 by saying: "how about $225 instead?"
I guess I'm still looking for that informed, readable, clear-headed, approachable paper which explains what we, as a society, can truly and effectively do about healthcare costs.
Thank you Mr. Cochrane for trying.
But I'm afraid that, for me at least, you were not successful.
We all thought: "Hey! New CEO search is over! Things will be boring and normal now!"
SoftBank Group Corp. has overcome a major obstacle to its planned multibillion-dollar investment in Uber Technologies Inc. The Japanese firm agreed to block any attempts to elevate Travis Kalanick, Uber’s controversial former leader, back to the company’s top ranks, according to people familiar with the discussions.
Uber cofounder Travis Kalanick appointed Xerox chairwoman Ursula Burns and former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain to the company's board of directors on Friday, a surprise move that's almost certain to re-ignite the bitter internal fighting that has destabilized the ride-hailing giant for months.
Uber quickly decried the move as "a complete surprise" to both the company and its board.
"That is precisely why we are working to put in place world-class governance to ensure that we are building a company every employee and shareholder can be proud of," an Uber spokesman told Business Insider.
It would institute “one share, one vote,” which would eliminate shares distributed early in the company’s history that hold “high” voting power. Those shares are held by Kalanick and also Benchmark, the venture firm that has sued him, as well as some employees.
Sources said Kalanick wants to defend the removal of those potentially lucrative shares, without the consent of those who have them, and that it also impacts all shareholders unfairly. Sources close to the board said that a majority of those shareholders are in favor of this change.
"Robotaxis will likely price-compete with mass-transit systems. The shift towards electric autonomous vehicles, combined with more advanced fleet optimization and servicing platforms, next-generation traffic management and more intense competition, should reduce the fee charged to passengers of robotaxis by as much as 80% versus a ride-on-demand trip today. The technology to make robotaxis a reality is already available. In this new paradigm, owning a private car will cost almost twice as much as using robotaxis regularly."
That is an extraordinary thought: An Uber ride that costs £10 today — already roughly half the price of a back cab — might cost only £2 in a few years' time, UBS says. The cost of providing cars without drivers might be so small that companies could offer rides for free, UBS speculates, and make money on the advertising inside them.
This is the most beautiful time of the year in the Bay Area, so it's hard to think of all the sad things that are happening in the world.
Still, life goes on, things happen.
Anyway, here's some Saturday night stuff, the typical mixture, I suppose, of wonderful and awful.
Drew and I drive to the El Capitan meadow to get a better look at the rockfall. There is a helicopter idling nearby, rescue trucks line the shoulder of the road, and Yosemite park personnel are moving about. A couple of rangers keep the traffic moving and the area clear. The SAR team is debriefing beneath a tree. Our friend, Josh Huckaby, a YOSAR veteran, gives Drew a look that means one thing: bad news.
The implication is clear: home cooks are being radicalized by the site’s recommendation algorithm to abandon their corned beef in favor of shrapnel-packed homemade bombs. And more ominously, enough people must be buying these bomb parts on Amazon for the algorithm to have noticed the correlations, and begin making its dark suggestions.
But as a few more minutes of clicking would have shown, the only thing Channel 4 has discovered is a hobbyist community of people who mill their own black powder at home, safely and legally, for use in fireworks, model rockets, antique firearms, or to blow up the occasional stump.
Math is about more than just numbers. In this "book" the story of math is visual, told in shapes and patterns.
Prior to The Atlantic, Gould was an editor at the Journal of Democracy, as well as with McKinsey & Company—where he worked with the public- and social-sector practices. A lecturer in history and politics at Yale University, he has written for the Washington Monthly, The American Prospect, The Chronicle Herald, The European Journal of Political Theory, and The Moscow Times.
Within those five minutes, it had become obvious that this was a freshman who I could—must—talk to like an advanced grad student or professor. Sadly for quantum computing, Michael ultimately decided to go into classical parts of theoretical computer science, such as low-rank approximation and fast algorithms for geometry and linear-algebra problems. But that didn’t stop him from later taking my graduate course on quantum complexity theory, where he sat in the front and loudly interrupted me every minute, stream-of-consciousness style, so that my “lectures” often turned into dialogues with him. Totally unforgivable—all the more so because his musings were always on point, constantly catching me in errors or unjustified claims (one of which I blogged about previously).
Are there pros and cons besides what's listed here?
Freezing your credit involves notifying each of the major credit bureaus that you wish to place a freeze on your credit file. This can usually be done online, but in a few cases you may need to contact one or more credit bureaus by phone or in writing. Once you complete the application process, each bureau will provide a unique personal identification number (PIN) that you can use to unfreeze or “thaw” your credit file in the event that you need to apply for new lines of credit sometime in the future. Depending on your state of residence and your circumstances, you may also have to pay a small fee to place a freeze at each bureau. There are four consumer credit bureaus, including Equifax, Experian, Innovis and Trans Union.
Security freezes do not apply to any person or entity with whom the consumer has an existing account, nor to a limited number of other parties who may access the files for purposes not related to new accounts, such as law enforcement agencies and certain governmental agencies that need them for investigations and other statutory responsibilities.
Before opening a new account, most reputable creditors evaluate the creditworthiness of the applicant by checking the consumer credit report or credit score. A security freeze stops potential creditors from seeing the consumer's credit report and credit score unless the consumer decides to unlock the credit reporting file with a PIN. The freeze stops the new account in the name of a thief because the creditor who is considering the thief’s application can’t check the real consumer’s credit report or credit score.
A security freeze does not stop misuse by a thief of your existing bank account or credit accounts, which is called existing account fraud. You still have to check the monthly statements on your existing accounts for any erroneous charges or debits.
Do not use the following advice to correct a problem with an account which is factually yours. If someone has stolen your credit card number and used it to buy things, you should not send letters. Just call your bank; they’ll take care of it. For reasons beyond the scope of this post, that is a really well-understood scenario that banks are very customer-friendly about. The only thing we’re talking about here is accounts / debts which were never yours.
Was an account opened in your name without your consent? Great, you’re in the right place. The rest of this article assumes that you’ve either checked a credit report or been told by a bank that an account exists in your name which you didn’t open.
Facebook Inc. signed San Francisco's largest office lease in three years, taking the entire office portion of 181 Fremont in another blockbuster deal in the city.
The lease of 436,000 square feet was confirmed by Matt Lituchy, chief investment officer of landlord Jay Paul Co.
The space at 181 Fremont can hold between 2,000 and 3,000 employees.
"While Instagram's HQ will remain in Menlo Park on Facebook's campus, a small team from Instagram will be moving to San Francisco in early 2018. With this lease, we've obtained the space we need at 181 Fremont to support our growth," said Jamil Walker, a Facebook spokesman.
Campbell’s pieces are unique among artists using technology — not only because he designs and builds the computer systems that make them function. More significantly, his choice of media is conceptually linked to his message: he uses technologies developed for information transfer and storage to explore human communication and memory. His is not technology used merely to wow, but to consider the relationship of our minds to the technologies we’ve created.
To be completed within the next few months and visible for decades to come, Campbell’s artwork on the top nine stories of the exterior of San Francisco’s new Salesforce Tower — the tallest building on the West Coast — will fundamentally alter the Bay Area skyline as well as the nature and purpose of public art. Unlike any permanent public artwork to date, Campbell’s piece will change daily, as a direct reflection of the life of the city in which it exists.
Jim Campbell was born in Chicago in 1956 and moved to San Francisco after earning degrees in mathematics and engineering from MIT. He transitioned from filmmaking to interactive video installations in the mid 1980s, and began using LEDs as his primary medium in 2000. His custom electronic artworks and installations have made him one of the leading figures in the use of computer technology as an art form.
At its current rate, San Francisco's troubled Millennium Tower could tilt another 10 inches toward the Salesforce Tower in the next two years, lawyers for the homeowners warned in a legal filing urging a speedy trial over the sinking building.
Owners of condos in the listing tower hoped to impress upon Judge Curtis Karnow the need to push for a trial by mid-2018 and to fund a fix.
But at a hearing on Monday, Karnow put off key decisions in the complicated case until October to give the many parties – the developer, builder, engineering consultants as well as homeowners and the city – time to plot out how best to proceed.
The homeowners association wants the court to endorse its plan to drive about 150 concrete and steel piles through the tower’s 10-foot-thick foundation all the way to bedrock.
in its response, the legal team for the Millennium emphasized the recent findings by its consultant that the building “remains structurally and seismically safe." Homeowners would be better off going after tall buildings nearby such as Salesforce, they contend, as there is “ample evidence” that their construction and removal of water around the tower is “a significant cause of the tilt” of the building.
Judge Karnow sounds like a pretty interesting fellow: here's a profile and short biography of him.

how can you sit there and watch me put so much effort, time, money, and emotion into our relationship and give NOTHING back. I know you love me, or I wouldn’t stay, but that doesn’t make it ok for you to put absolutely zero effort into my/our happiness. Everyday I do everything I can just to make sure that you have a good day, and it’s all because I genuinely want you to have a good day. And everyday you watch me do everything for you and give nothing in return. Even a “thank you so much” once or twice a day would make me feel like I’m not wasting my time. Am I wasting my time?

Today we took a bus tour to port Arthur. The road is open and tourists are encouraged to go there because the area is so reliant on tourist money at this time of year. It is the main income earning time for the whole year and if the tourists don't go, companies go out of business.
We had no idea of the extent if the fire damage. It really is a huge area of bush and farm land. The driver said that a lot more brick buildings were destroyed than wooden buildings. It was amazing to see some wooden houses untouched and the brick house next door with just the chimney left.
If you are moved by these pictures please donate something to a charity such as Red Cross for the Tasmanian brushfire collection.

Former Indian cricketer Ramesh Powar was on Monday appointed the interim coach of national women’s cricket team.
Pawar will replace Tushar Arothe, who was forced to resign in the wake of differences with senior players who were not happy with the coaching methods of former Baroda all-rounder.
Powar will oversee the women’s team camp which begins in Bengaluru from July 25. The BCCI has already invited applications for the full-time coach’s job with July 20 being the deadline to apply.

Yayyyy week off 🙂 I always try to take week off at the beginning of December to do my Christmas shopping/wrapping presents and writing all the cards. Today I watched the Muppet’s Christmas carol while wrapping all the presents ready to be given out.
Spent the day with Jodie in Ikea. I’m enjoying looking round all the furniture, getting ideas of what I like. Plus I love spending time with Jodie.
Scuba diving’s Christmas party complete with hog roast, although I did feel a bit underdressed……was good to hang out for a bit and be all festive!
I did a bit of paint browsing today (I have so many books of colours now… how much do you want to bet I still won’t find the perfect colour? and got to look round the house again.
The beginning of Christmas carol season, Siobhan and I went to Jazz Carols at church and it was great. It was traditional carols to tunes we all know but with a twist. There was a saxophone player that I love watching, he really gets into it and you can tell that he’s really passionate about playing. A bit more unusual than the traditional carols and got my toes tapping. Happy Christmas season!

A delicate organza fabric makes up this full floor length wedding gown. Further decorated with floral lace appliques around the full bodice, and tapering throughout the dress. The outfit boasts a full court train to the back. Around the waistline is a wide silky band, embellished with a large bow to the front. With a strapless sweetheart neckline to the front, and a low back line, this dress is finished with a hidden zipper fastening to the back, and full inner lining.
Adorable gown! It looks flattering on any figure. For the price, quality is unbelievable. Great bargain! I am going to use it for my wedding and can't wait more for the special day. Thank you so much!
This is a classic empire wedding gown that suits any formal wedding. It fits wonderfully and looks gorgeous on account of the sweetheart neckline and lace appliques. Zippered back and built in bra enhance the comfort and fit of the dress. Love it!
We had seen such a dress at a local bridal shop and it was priced at $700. I did not purchase it because I was on a low budget. Then I looked online for a match and found it here. This is the same dress as the one I saw and for a fraction of the price. Open back impresses me the most. The entire gown is made beautifully and has top quality construction. Lace appliques make it rich. My daughter looks like a princess in this gown. I was not expecting it to come so early. The seller was in constant touch with us and kept us updated about the order status at all the time. I can't stop smiling for saving so much!

Christmas is a season for entertaining. Having friends round for drinks and nibbles is something we do a lot. Whilst bowls of crisps and nuts are always a hit, serving a couple of homemade canapés makes me feel slightly more of a domestic goddess than I really am. This week I tested out these Puff Pastry Sausage Bites which I’ll be serving to guests on Christmas Eve. They were quickly gobbled up and given the seal of approval from the boys, so I’m sure your guests will like them too.
You could make them with whatever your favourite sausage is, I used some Grouse and Wild Boar sausages from Wild and Game. Wild and Game are a non-profit organisation with the main aim of introducing the British public to game meat. They have a range of game-based pies, pasties, sausage rolls and sausages and want to show that game meat isn’t just for special occasions. Game is a healthy choice and is generally low-fat and low-cholesterol.
My Puff Pastry Sausage Bites are so easy to make, especially if you cheat like me and buy ready-made puff pastry. They’re a crispy canapé, full of gamey flavour which is complimented by a dab of redcurrant jelly. They’re festive without being too in your face about it.
Pre-heat your oven to 200° and put a sheet of baking parchment on a baking tray. Unroll your sheet of puff pastry and using a sharp knife divide it up into 24 squares.
I used a shot glass to press a circle into the middle of each of the squares, you just need the indent rather than cutting through. This should stop the whole pastry square from rising in the oven.
Carefully transfer each square onto your baking sheet. You might need to bake them in batches so don’t cram them in. Using a teaspoon, put a small dollop of redcurrant jelly in each of the circles. You don’t need much, maybe 1/4 of a spoon.
Now is the slightly messy bit. Take a sausage and squeeze the filling out of it put a piece of the sausage-meat on top of each circle. Each sausage should be enough for 6 sausage bites. You should use just 4 sausages for this recipe, if you’ve got a packet of 6 sausages you could make yourself a sausage butty with the last two sausages for your lunch.
Once each square has some redcurrant jelly and sausage-meat in it, brush around the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg and put in the oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly before serving.
I was sent some Wild and Game sausages to use in a recipe. All images and opinions are my own. I have not been compensated for this post.

From time to time I like to revisit previously created work to see if it could be improved or altered for better use and functionality. I created this villa back in 2014 (see post) and this past week revisited it for the first time. I ended up significantly reworking the villa by adding a porte-cochére, removing a couple fireplaces in the foyer/kitchen, eliminating levels in the living area, adding an additional bedroom and bath upstairs bringing the total to a 4 bedroom 4.5 bath house as well as creating outside basement access and housing for the pool equipment. I also eliminated an entire structure, the architect’s office and incorporated it into a home office with its own entrance within the main house. Additional changes might include adding a 3rd bay onto the garage as well, but I opted not to do that. Hope you like it.

Utah has the nation’s 5th highest rate of suicide. At a Tuesday panel, University of Utah professors will discuss how to get help.
(Steve Griffin | The Salt Lake Tribune file photo) A man walks across the skybridge that connects hospitals at the University of Utah.
A group of suicide experts will speak on a panel about anxiety and depression — how to recognize it and how to cope with it — at the University of Utah on Tuesday night.
“This is something that students and people in general can heal from,” said one of the panelists, Christina LeCluyse, a clinical social worker at the U.’s Counseling Center.
The discussion starts at 6 p.m. and will be held at the Carolyn and Kem Gardner Commons, 260 S. Central Campus Drive. The event is free and open to the public.
The panel will focus on how anxiety and depression affect different age groups and genders, where audience members can find resources and why they should try counseling, LeCluyse said. The annual lecture series, focused on raising awareness, is organized by the university along with the parents of Eric Moerer, a Utah high school student who died by suicide in 1997.
The state has the fifth highest suicide rate in the nation. And it’s the leading cause of death for residents here ages 10 to 17.

As part of these efforts, the USUSA has created a video titled “This Does Not Define Us,” which encourages students to reach out to family, friends and roommates when they feel alone. The idea of the video is to spread the message that nobody is ever alone, there is always somebody or the other to seek help from. “Friends, parents and best mates are here for you, ready to listen, wanting to help,” says the video.
The team comprising USUSA presidents from across the state created the video based on the realization that improving mental health requires a multipronged approach and needs support from family and friends in the form of understanding, love and acceptance. Notably, the initiative behind the video is for it to contribute as a positive add on to professional help, and not to be considered as a replacement.
The initiative is part of the USUSA’s 2016-17 mental health goals that include declaration of a statewide mental health crisis, getting funds for additional therapists at Counseling and Psychology Services, and ending the stigma behind mental illness. Besides, they also aim to educate the community on mental health issues as it can occur at any point of time, before or after the university. So far, they have been successful in expanding their efforts to the community and to the other Utah universities.
Studies have recorded a rise in the number of university students who are struggling with some mental disorder. Among all, depression and anxiety disorders were found to be the most prevalent mental health conditions. Apart from factors such as genetic predisposition, traumatic experience or environmental stressors, triggers like peer pressure, cutthroat competition and change in life schedule play a significant role in causing mental health problems in the students.
Sadly, while there are many students who are unaware of the underlying mental disorder present in them, there are many who shy away from seeking help owing to the stigma that surrounds mental illnesses. Often, these students fear a dent in their social image. As a result, they prefer to remain silent, which leads to an aggravation of the condition and impacts their academic performance. All these together trigger suicidal thoughts and tendencies in them.
Entering a university brings drastic changes in the life of a student, such as separation from home and family, the task of making new friends, adjusting to new and unfamiliar situations and living conditions, etc. All these factors can cause overwhelming and stressful circumstances, which is normal. However, if the stress goes overboard and begins to degrade the quality of life and disrupts regular routine, the stress is considered as unhealthy and unproductive. Therefore, awareness about the signs, causes and ways to manage the stress can help students maintain a good mental health during their struggle.
In the wake of rising incidence of mental health conditions among students, many universities and colleges incorporate mental health programs. These programs offer medical help, professional counselling and recommendation for thorough treatment. However, the work is to encourage the students to walk up to these programs and seek help without fearing the judgement and notions of others.
If you or your loved one is experiencing depression like symptoms, you can seek help from Depression Treatment Helpline to enquire about various treatment centers for depression in your vicinity. You can call at our 24/7 helpline number 866-619-7729 or chat online with our expert to know about the depression help centers near you.

Question: I consistently over swinging in my golf game. I don’t understand why. I say to myself, “Easy does it!” I try to ease up. I really do. Then I take a swing at the ball. Like a Greek chorus, my partners sing out “I’m swinging too hard.” It just doesn’t feel possible. One day I got a little paranoid. I began to think that they are just trying to drive me nuts. It didn’t feel possible that I could swing any easier. I tried to visualize my club going back softly and returning to the ball with no effort. And still the chorus sings out the same song. My performance is so inconsistent. I walk around the course thinking to myself and talking out loud. This is not fun. I’m running out of patience. I already told my pals, “If I hear another chorus of I’m swing to hard, I’m going to bend my club around someone’s cranium as well as the game. I take a swing and wait for the singing to begin. Everyone sees it differently than I experience it. I even went to a pro at a local golf club. Ten lessons later, he wanted to quit the business (kidding). He couldn’t get me to slow down and ease up. He even held my arms and swung them for me without a club in my hand. So, I came across your blog and I figure you are a sport psychologist. Maybe you have an idea. Maybe you can help me attach my body to my mind in a way that will improve my swing and my athletic performance. Any ideas?
Answer by Paul Schienberg, PhD: Well yes. Here is a thought. Trust your clubs! Somewhere inside your neurological system may exist a belief that unless you swing hard, muscle your shots, swing with a lot of club speed through the ball, you will not get the results you fantasize about. Most of us played baseball as a kid…swung the bat from our heels, as hard as we could and watched the baseball fly over the fence. Or, maybe we watched golf on TV and began to believe that swinging like Tiger Woods would get us his results. I’m suggesting that instead of your body working so hard, let the clubs do the work for you. They were designed by people who know how to build a club that would get the ball where it was intended to go. Try the following mantra: let my club take my ball where I want it to go. Whether it is a driver, long or short iron, or sand-wedge, they are designed correctly. Don’t try to make it happen. Be easy with it. Feel the flow of your body and arms – not the speed of their movements. When we don’t trust our clubs, we put too much effort into our swing. It is the appreciation of the ability already built into those clubs that will make it work. The smooth, tender and sensitive relationship to each club that lets them work as they are designed to work. By the way, it is interesting to watch some women play on the same golf course. They are less likely to fall into the mistake of over-swinging. They don’t think of killing the ball, but they often let their club do the job it was built to do. Do not worry. Your mind is attached to your body. It needs to send a belief message to your body that creates a harmonious relationship – not an over-powering one.

This works great when you want to add either a bigger snippet for an exported document or you want to do actual calculations with data from the document.
For the latter case, if you don't need a whole lot of room for your code - for example if you're doing an easy calculation like the VAT on an invoice, it would be great if you had the ability to add inline code blocks. And of course, Orgmode provides!
When you hit C-c C-c while point is on this code, it will execute and append the result. When exporting, the code block is not visible while the result is.

Looking to start your own concrete Denver project? While working with the bulk material can be quite intimidating, the following article gives you the trade secrets to help you overcome this. Concrete designs are currently in vogue, with some of the hottest, timeless designs for sleek concrete floors, concrete patios, countertops, entryways, pool decks, geometric planters, and such features in your home. This attraction in using concrete for decorating is continuing to grow, from the more expansive new homes with more elaborate driveways to the budget single room remodels highlighting an elegant stained concrete floor. Concrete is no longer the plain, boring, grey material; it is now seen as an incredible element for decorations.
The way that you take care of your exterior concrete will dictate how long it lasts and in what condition. Since Denver is prone to snowstorms and potential natural disasters, you will need to always stay on top of your concrete maintenance. You can follow these tips below as a great starting point.
Because natural disasters can be detrimental to your exterior concrete, keep your homeowners insurance policy updated to be sure that it covers your driveway, patio and other concrete fixtures. You should find the help in service of a Denver concrete contractor who specializes in emergency repair so that you have a rapport with them and that you know that they accept your homeowners insurance policy payments. This gives you the opportunity to keep your fixtures up to par regardless of what mother nature has in store.
To be sure that your concrete looks its best and remains durable, call up a concrete professional in Denver who can assist you frequently. They would do things like seal the concrete and patch up any potholes that you might be having. By letting these pros do what they do best, you can take solace in the fact that your concrete will last for the long-term basis.
Sometimes maintenance won't get it done — there comes a time that you need to get your driveway or patio completely resurfaced. You'll need to solicit the help of a concrete Denver professional who can inspect the concrete inside and out and let you know whether a repair or resurface is the best course of action to take.
Keep these three tips in mind and use them to the best of your ability.
4 Essential Tips For Concrete Denver Projects.
Here are some of the trade secrets to help you work with concrete in Colorado.
1. Use an additive to ensure the concrete is easy to mix and mold into the nooks and crannies.
2. Be sure to perfect the cure, so that it’s of a more consistent texture. This prevents voids and cracks in the concrete.
3. The impressionable quality of concrete makes it ideal for artistic designs. You can press coins, rocks, pieces of glass, fossils, etc. on to it while it’s still soft to decorate it.
4. Select a finish that rhymes with the décor of your home. Concrete dyes, acid stains, and stamping can create a unique finish on the concrete surface.
The versatility of concrete makes it stand out compared to other solid surfaces. It can be molded into different designs to suit your preferences, needs, and creative ideas. While working with the material may seem quite messy, and sometimes a bit scary, you don’t have to quake over the difficulty of the project. As long as you have the means and enough knowledge, professional quality projects are easily accessible to the average homeowner.

Discussion in '2002 - 2005 Ford Thunderbird' started by jimtcrowe, Oct 6, 2018.
I wasn't able to find this in the search. My wipers have started coming on for no reason and mainly intermittent. I can't stop them and it is random? Anyone else had this problem? I assume it must either be relay, switch, or motor. Not sure how to begin troubleshooting this.
I've been there. That was one of the first signs. Next the window did not drop when I went to open the door. The top wouldn't go up. The radio did not go off when I got out of the car. Finally the head lights would just go off. All of the problems were intermittent. The FEM is going bad. I guess you just joined the club.
Check and make sure your battery is at full charge before doing anything else!!!
oh my.....I guess this will be a pricey one??
700 to 1100 at the Ford dealer, but the part is not available until November. Some say you can get it rebuilt from online places and do it yourself but I have not heard from anyone who has done that. Search this forum as there are a lot of posts about it.
So I have found were AES and automotivemodules.com do rebuilds that do not require programming. Any experience with these companies and should a novice attempt this?
lastly at this point i only have the wiper issue....is there a way to test this? or should I just bite the bullet and get the FEM? or should I change wiper relay first?
Does any one know for sure.
Good News for people who are having FEM problems. I recently developed all the classic symptoms, intermittent wipers starting and stopping at will, cluster light issues, window issues, power steering issues etc. I removed the model and sent it to Ross at http://www.automotivemodules.com/Thunderbird.html A little over $200 and it came back repaired I reinstalled and all is great. Ross was super helpful!!! Can't say enough good about him, he also restores other modules on the this model. I HIGHLY recommend his services. By the way no programming needed!
Mach5, Elsie and Gus Gutz like this.
I am glad someone finally posted that they dealt with them. Thanks for the information. I think everyone here will be needing this service sooner or later.
I sent mine there as well, and unfortunately when I got it back, my car still had the same problem. The owner of the company was helpful on the phone giving me ideas on what to check, but my electrical testing abilities are slim to none! The basic charge to go through the FEM is a reasonable $208, but it took almost 3 weeks to get it back. Other folks on the Facebook Thunderbird page recommended him, and had success with the normal FEM issues-windows, lights, wipers, etc. My car has just the wiper issue, and never had the other normal problems associated with that part.

Former Arsenal forward Ian Wright hails Matteo Guendouzi for the midfielder's performance against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
Former Arsenal forward Ian Wright has paid tribute to Matteo Guendouzi for the midfielder's performance against Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Guendouzi - a summer arrival from Lorient - played the full 90 minutes on his Gunners debut as Unai Emery's side suffered a 2-0 defeat to City at the Emirates Stadium.
Wright has said that the 19-year-old's willingness to take the ball during a difficult match for Arsenal showed his credentials.
"Another less obvious new boy impressed me in Arsenal's young midfielder Matteo Guendouzi, signed from the relative wilderness of Ligue 2 Lorient in France," Wright told The Sun.
"Yes, he found it tough going at times against City but what impressed me was his attitude and effervescence. It would have been easy to hide - let's face it, others in the Arsenal side did - but he was still demanding the ball, still showing and still battling to the end.
"Gunners fans left the Emirates desperately looking for positives after an opening loss and Guendouzi was the biggest one of all."
Arsenal are believed to have paid Lorient £7m to sign the France Under-20 international.

Merry Christmas everyone. I have just delivered this family’s gallery in time for Christmas. The A family booked me for a natural family photo shoot at their home in Chelmsford, Essex. They really wanted to get some natural shots of the family by the Christmas tree.
The family of four wore their Christmas jumpers for the shoot which included some planned activities with the children. The children especially enjoyed trying to guess the item of each present under the Christmas tree. This was definitely a fun Christmas-themed shoot.
Here is a sneak peek from the family photography session. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
As a Chelmsford family photographer, I love capturing portraits of children and their families. I photograph families in Essex either in their homes or at their favourite locations such as a park, play centre or urban area. Please contact me to book your own family photo shoot.

1. It’s all about lighting. To make your fashion really pop, choose natural light or studio light with a soft box (you can even make one from a lamp and last season’s white t-shirt). If you’re using a flash, you’ll probably want to bounce it or stick a diffusion filter on it.
2. Make a shot list. This is a critical step, and even more important if you are photographing models. Even if your model is just your best friend who owes you a favor, they’ll appreciate it if you know exactly what you want to shoot. Think about the poses you want to capture, the outfits you want them to wear, and the details that you want to highlight in every shot.
3. White balance (WB). Accurate color and skin tones come from making sure the WB function on your camera is set to your lighting situation.
4. Choose the right lens/zoom setting. If you’re using a wide angle, you’re going to lose your beautiful lines (and your model may never forgive you). If you have a camera with different zoom levels, zoom out to minimize lens barrel distortion.
5. Keep it stylish. It’s a fashion shoot, after all. Play music, keep things moving, try new angles. Attitude, attitude, attitude.
6. Dress it up. Make your book as fashionable as the clothing featured in it. Choose a simple design that doesn’t upstage the clothing, but still looks chic. Pick a size and paper type that showcases the work brilliantly.
If you’ve ever paid attention to what’s on the catwalk, you know that fashion means different things to different people. Follow your own fashion obsessions and document them in a fashionable book. If you look good today in person, imagine looking great forever on the printed page with Blurb! Start your Blurb book now and Save 25% on print book orders of $75+ at Blurb.

Elit-in project starts off from the acknowledgement of a fact that affects very negatively to most of the elite athletes at international levels, which is, due to their exclusive dedication to sports and the early abandonment of formal education, once they have finished their sport career they realize how difficult is to find a job with the education received and accredited.
However, in order to achieve high performance, the athletes have acquired numerous skills through their informal learning process which are very useful and high valued in the labour market, such as teamwork, motivation, self-control or work under pressure among others.
In this way ELIT-in project will be framed in the specific objective of the promotion of dual careers of athletes, being its main aim to work, through an innovative approach, for the recognition of transversal competences acquired by high performance athletes and to put them in value as a differential factor. Also, creating and implementing a training package of other necessary skills in order to increase successful chances to find a job.
ELIT-in Project will be carried out by twelve partners and organizations from eight different countries and will be co-financed by the Educational, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency in 2017 _ERASMUS+ SPORT Program.

Junior Ranger | Look Before You Live!
This five-week trip was great fun! We’re looking forward to next summer!
It was a great museum, and I’d love to spend more time there next time we’re through town.
After finishing our visit we continued east into Pennsylvania, overnighting at the Walmart of Clearfield.
The museum was interesting, we learned a lot about horse racing!
Like other presidential homes we’ve visited on this trip (Truman and Grant), the focus of the site is a tour of the home. Since we did not go on the tour, all we got out of our visit was a few displays in the room where tour tickets are sold.
We continued north to overnight at the Walmart of Shepherdsville, Kentucky. See the alternating light blue line on the trip map for today’s drive.
On Shabbos day, after a nice davening, the shul had lunch together in honor of the one-year anniversary of a member couple. Shabbos in Leawood reminded me of how strong and special small out-of-town communities can be. After Shabbos, our RV neighbors from Brooklyn decided to drive over to a local Walmart and sleep there just to have the experience.
I found this quote amusing considering that, that as a Civil War General, Grant issued General Order 11 which expelled all Jews from portions of Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The order was revoked by President Lincoln three weeks later.

For He is the King and Creator, of heaven and of earth.
The sea and all the blessing.
The power to give new birth.
His children, He always gives His best.
And all that dwell within.
And power to save from sin.
And five loaves of bread.
And the fierce winds blew.
But built upon the sand.
In Him have I put my trust.
He�s always, faithful and just.

Tommy R. Elders, 75, of West, passed away on Tuesday, February 5, 2019 in Waco.
Visitation will be held at 10:00 a.m., Monday, February 11, 2019, at the Mausoleum at Waco Memorial Funeral Home and Cemetery, with a funeral service following immediately after at 11:00 a.m., with Pastor Wayne Blackshear officiating.
Tommy was born in Coushatta, LA, to James and Patricia Elders on October 20, 1943. He went to school at Connally High School in Waco. He graduated with an Associate's Degree from Texas State Technical College. He worked as an Auto Body Repairman and a Dental Lab Technician before retiring with a disability from the United States Postal Service after 19 years of honorable service. He was a veteran and served four years as a Sergeant in the Air Force. He was awarded The Air Force Commendation Medal for his time in Vietnam. As described in his award, he received the honor for "his exemplary performance and attention to detail...which contributed immeasurably to the success and effectiveness of his unit's mission".
Tommy absolutely loved the outdoors. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and worked tirelessly on his properties through the years to create a beautiful and bountiful environment where wild animals could live and thrive. He was an expert marksman and could often hit targets others could barely see. In his later years he laid down his rifle and was happiest watching deer, rabbits, foxes, roadrunners play and run around the land surrounding his home.
He also loved to play golf and had a large group of buddies who played on Sundays for many, many years. Some of those men have played together since their youth on the once thriving local Connally Public Golf Course.
Tommy prided himself on seeing the world through the eyes of a 14 year old boy, (and acting accordingly) especially when it came to pranks. He got lots of mileage and laughs out of his placement of fake snakes (some motorized), worms, spiders and tales of scorpions in the air vents, the sofa, wherever a guest in his house might be sitting. He recently shared his talent of putting a leash on a live scorpion as a new "pet" for his grandchildren.
Tommy was a devoted, loyal and hardworking Father, Grandfather, friend, playing-partner, jokester, and a character that no one fortunate enough to be in his circle will ever forget.
Tommy was preceded in death by his father, James A. Elders; mother, Patricia Reese Elders; and brother, James A. Elders, Jr.
Tommy, is survived by his son, Tommy R. "Skip" Elders, Jr.; daughter-in-law, Shannon R. Elders; grandson, Tommy R. Elders, III; granddaughter, Kennedy R. Elders.
Pallbearers will be: Mike Williams, Ron Warhol, Brent Lumus, Tom Dulus, RT Thornton and Gary Ryan. Honorary Pallbearers: Ross Thornton, III and Tommy Reese Elders, III.
The family requests Memorials in lieu of flowers. Memorials may given to: Texas Wildlife Association Foundation, 3660 Thousand Oaks, Suite 126 San Antonio, TX 78247.

Jack was born July 22, 1924, in Graham, Texas, to Samuel Sidney Bates and Augustine Cornish Bates. Our Dad always knew what he wanted, and went for it. He planned for the future. He always looked towards building a foundation and infrastructure in order to have a purpose or passion in life. He looked to marry a woman who was intelligent and supportive. Someone who was grounded and encompasses a shared set of values with him. He could not have done better than marrying our mother, Freda Adeline.
He always had the courage to have uncomfortable conversations with those he knew and loved. He was honest with his intentions and let people know where they stood with him. He knew how to have a good time and be social, but focused hard in making strides in his career and building his life for himself and his family. He always took the time to reflect on the type of man he wanted to be, the example he wanted to leave, and the vision for his life.
Jack was a Veteran of WWII, in the Active Army Reserve, for 30 years. He was a Scout Master for 16 years, helping build boys into men. Later in life, he was a land developer in Brewster County in the Big Bend area. He always put meaningfully thought into his values. He was a man of great integrity. He meant what he said, and said what he meant. He always followed through on his promises. He will always hold a special place in our lives, full of memories on how he shaped out future and guided us through thick and thin. His favorite saying about life was, "If I do not do it – who will? If not now –when!" He always had faith in God and often quoted, "We are all born broken, but by the grace of God we are mended."
He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Freda; son, Allen Joseph Bates; and son-in-law, Danny R. Kent, Sr.
He is survived by his daughters, Beth Ann Bates Lewis and husband, Scott, Maggie Lynn Bates Kent, and Kathleen Bates Pruitt and husband, Charlie; son, Jack C. Bates, Jr., and wife, Cheryl Lynn; daughter-in-law, Harriet Bates; grandchildren, Ashley Lewis Card, Tammy Lynn Beeson and husband, David, Jack Bates III, Lacy Kent Brejcha and husband, Jim, Daniel R. Kent, Jr., and wife, Elissa, and Gus, Thomas and Sophie Bates; and great-grandchildren, Madison, Wyatt, David, Emily, Jack, Grace, Brooke, Jace and Brooks.
How much you meant to us."
